and the straws were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said. We fought a revolution to cure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this delight, brave, the freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrant's labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize... the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God. to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now, as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer? If he called out from the grave, build the land at the... Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, south, north, northeast. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we are on satellite. I want to say hi to all of our friends out there, virtually every ocean on the planet. We're also on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 10th of May. This is the 15th year of open obvious and in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2023 old earth calendar 2023 battle for the Republic of the dance of swords. Let the dance continue. Yes. Remember battle acts broadsword shield footwork shield blade. Footwork, footwork, footwork, maneuver while fighting. Remember that. You can be static to a degree. In fact, remember inaction is action. Most common mistake made in the math formula. Inaction is action. It's just that the battlefield may move around you, but the battlefield is continuing or the individual battle you're in is continuing. There may be advantages sometimes to just hold for a moment. It allows you to let the enemy maneuver into the position you wanted them in. Keep that in mind. They may think they're what they want to be. That's where you needed them to be. Anyway, a couple interesting things, not weapons related. Of course, Tucker Carlson has announced that he's going to be doing a Twitter thing. I think everybody's beat that to death or talking about it today. It's interesting. We'll see how that goes. Supposedly no money offered. And people are saying, well, somehow that might violate the Fox FAUX agreement that he has. I don't know, it's private broadcasting. He doesn't have any contract with anybody else. All he's doing is talking. Plus, it's a limited podcast kind of thing. So it's personal conversation if they want to fight that in the court. It's becoming more apparent. Everybody keeps emphasizing that part of the settlement with the Diebold, oh I'm sorry, it's not Diebold yet, it's Diebold. The company that actually was suing FAUX about the election process is actually Diebold. I think that's the most important thing also, it needs to be rubbed in over and over and over again. It's the Diebold software which was made absolutely illegal. It was never to be used anywhere, the software for Diebold. is what's in everything out there that's in the electronic election box and specifically the characters that we're suing the FAUX network or you call it Fox. FAUX settled, shouldn't have, but then again depending on where the communists and where the ring knockers take their BS, hell, like you said, they'll find a ham sandwich guilty of something. Or we'll rule against you simply because of political correctness has nothing to do with the facts. However, it is very obvious that they realized that while their plan was to do one thing, all they did was shoot the planned controlled opposition right in the gut. And in the process have moved everything sideways. Everybody sees that the one supposed conservative network in reality wasn't at all. isn't at all. But as it happened, if you look and listen to all the public announcements by the characters who had the victory, they're kind of... pensive, is the way to say it. They're, well, almost like, it wasn't my fault. They told me to sue them. They told me to sue them. It's not my fault, but we never expected this to happen. Well, actually, it's what we would prefer to see happen. Everything actually has gone very well because everything we tried to explain to people, you know, get a chance to see. Caller, jump in there, please. Yeah, thanks, Mark. I heard that Black Rock owns Fox and Black Rock owns Dominion. So Black Rock owns Black Rock. An interesting, yeah, now that's an interesting one, too. in that the upper end of the spider web leads to a narrow series of branches. The family tree is a toothpick inbred road crew from Tel Aviv slash Deliverance. And it's interesting, that's like I said, if you look at the response here, I think what they did the way they did it didn't go the way that, you know, the big plan, they've got all of the usual sycophant, you know, yes man or yes he, she is, you know, barking like dogs when they bumped Tucker Carlson off. But it was a shallow hal victory slash in reality, cut your nose off despite your face defeat. They did it to themselves now. There's and all they're doing is shuffling digits. I mean, that's the one thing is they're really Substance to what they're talking about. In fact an interesting thing is what FAX FAUX did by agreeing to this What happened to their revenue? I mean granted they got lots of other income but that particular machine that was bringing in a good chunk of change. It's gone Go ahead jump in there, please. I heard a voice that is time for you. Yep. We got stuff Hey, so Tucker Kyle is not doing things on Twitter, right? That's what I'm just saying. No, he's over. Yeah, he's coming up on a Totally different mechanism, but he's going in there doing kind of just like an information Conversation thing so I said the one thing everybody's saying well He can get sued or he may lose the contract with Fox. I don't think so I think any lawyer is gonna be able to say hey Twitter is just a vocabulary place. It's people talk you out back and forth the make noise In fact, pretty much everybody and anybody out there in Hollywood, everybody out there that's in the controlled media has a Twitter account, guys. Am I right? I think I am. Well, but Mark, who controls their Twitter account? Does Mark, does Tucker have a gag order if he does or a no compete clause or something like that? I'm sure they've spelled out, if he's talking on Twitter, they're allowing it. You know what I mean? Right. Well, he's not going to spell it out to the letter. Exactly. That's one of the beliefs. That's one of the discussions everybody's having here today, but the bottom line is kind of like I was talking to Nancy about this like if you made a hundred million dollars And you're and he's not as old as we are how much do you really need to live comfortably? You know, I mean even if you've splurged a little here and there, you know if you buy a mansion and it's got, you know, not a mansion, a big big house, not a big house, not a McMansion, but let's say you get a big house. Okay, once you've paid for it, especially if you had the kind of money he's got, I doubt that he might still be allowing for a mortgage because there's advantages in bookkeeping with regard to write off on mortgage and all that fun stuff. So that's a math formula for his tax people. But the fact is that if you paid it off and if you paid off and you own your cars and you own everything, what do you really have in the way of expenses every year? Now your expenses are greater if you have a big, big house. I won't say a mansion, but let's say you have a big, big house. You've got taxes every year for the house. You've got taxes. You've got to pay for whatever other doodads you might pick up, plus the expense of food, which is sundry. Now, you know, for somebody who has that kind of money, food extravagance is You don't even want to get extravagant. You want to stay healthy. But once you have most everything, you're just idling along. If you have a... He started out getting $6 million a year. By the time we're done, the last couple of years has been $20 million. That's why I said, with money that's made over his career, granted he's had to pay to move, but he didn't burn the house down behind him. If he moved from a house, he sold it. He bought another house, he sold that. Now he's plaid a place down in Florida, which is where he's plopped his butt. He's so he's comfortable. So there isn't anything they could really do to make you feel bad. I mean, it's nice to accumulate more digits. But if you're if you want to be this, this is the hard part people. If you get to the point where you're just see that it won't make any difference if you have the money, if they're burning the house down, you might as well say something. Mark, it's like right. It's like right now. Go ahead. Is he living with the old boys? in Florida now. And did you watch that video that I sent you about Tucker? I highly recommend you look at that because it shows how he's connected to the ADL and the whole gambit. And he did some segments on global warming and man, it's really... Okay, hold on. First of all, I'm not worshiping Tucker Carlson, okay? I know. Okay, but here's the thing. Everybody is going to either satisfy what is management's requirement. Even he said he tells you, he'll tell you flat out in any conversation he's made where he came from. As far as you know dad was in the business and I'm sure dad was also in the like I've told everybody he was in communications Just cuz you're in communications guys doesn't mean you are to spook There's plenty of people like I've told you for decades now a decade long as I've been out in the air first thing I tried to explain everybody before I was on the air people you know the most of the media is owned by either like you know, they're either mutual credentials with The CIA, the NSA, all the communications spoken groups. Nowadays, I'll guarantee it's Homeland Succia-Rady. Now they may be with one or the other in a competitive way, because you got to remember these are still competitive duchies inside our government. But there's a lot of intertwining now and the bridging mechanisms that they have allow them to cross over to a degree. But there's still quote unquote trade secrets with each of the guilds, each one of these cliques. So, Carlson is from a particular line. This is something I've argued about pretty much anybody you see in Washington, D.C. They're going to be with either one house, in other words, a royal house or another. That's what you'd call them overseas. And so, what are their interests? People may decide that they want to be against the regime, but not because they're necessarily with you or me, But because they realize that if they let the mechanism go as it is, it doesn't make any difference what wealth they've accumulated. They're higher up the feeding chain, but eventually this crazy town thing that's going on would eat them too. This is when we talk about what is a, not a twisted, but a unique mutual liberty interest. Combat war in a situation like this makes really interesting bedfellows, not that you're in bed with them, and not necessarily you'd trust them if they were, quote unquote, sitting in bed next year, okay? I've said that a million times. First rule, if we go and we get into a conflict, guys, you count on yourself first and everything else is cake. Everything else is a plus. It's like being a soldier. You're always infantry. And as long as you think that way, everything else is a benefit. Being mechanized, having some wheels on the, being able to move faster, being comfortable and safe and secure because of mutual alliances. Well, even when you have mutual alliances, you still keep one eye open. In other words, your security for your people never changes. Why? Because betrayal is always an option. Let's all remember this. But, but, isn't it good? And this is the part that we need to think about. This is the only reason I brought this up. I'm watching their body language and what they're, the way they're expressing themselves and where they wanted to gloat. They haven't it's because they need it if you're gonna convince all of us that there's nothing going on It's in their minds. Okay, and I'm not talking about you guys and me at the kitchen table tonight talking When you go every tier up through the idiocracy that you now have in place with the fogged and blocked populations that have isolated themselves from everybody else as You get up the chain this pyramid. It literally is a pyramid it gets smaller and smaller and tinier. But they're still within each of those tiers, there's guys that want to use the old executive letter opener. The first part of the, you know, it's a double blade. You know, you got your, if you clench the, like a pen, you got a blade down by your little finger and one up by your thumb. Well, the one is to stab the guy, try to come up behind you. While the other one is to stick that knife right between the shoulder blades and the one ahead of you. Cause you got to get up, you got to get up the ladder. And what's happening here, and this is their problem, is the available field is narrower and narrower. And they needed, in their mind, they know, they needed all of you to be caught, quote unquote, flat-footed, that we won't know what to do, that we'll be so stunned. Are you guys all gonna be so stunned when they openly betray us? That you're just not gonna know what to do? You'll all be shocked, you'll all be amazed, you'll all be, oh, perturb, you'll be, Oh, oh, oh, oh, disenfranchised. Oh, oh, my goodness. I disillusioned. And in reality, ain't nobody here having any arguments with them because we already know what they're up to. And there's no conversation with the backed up toilet. Now, I think the mistake that they made here, no matter how hard they tried, is they felt that this was a way to cut the mechanism in a way, but and still use the individual. Okay. Tucker Carlson Carlson can still be used. But the biggest mistake that they made is they just took the fake opposition away. They just shot themselves in the what little right foot was left. There's only one big toe and that's it. FAUX. Where do you go? Where do you go and claim that something else is conservative? Ha, ha, ha. Think about that. Yeah, I mean we already said FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FAUX FA Well, you just got a chance to see how fake it is. And like I said yesterday, the other part about this, for this particular part of their machine, not the only part of their machine, but the echo chamber benefit that they had from using Tucker Carlson completely disintegrated. I mean, completely disintegrated. And contrary to what they're saying, a lot of even some of the people that are supposedly conservative, young charge chargers right now, They're saying, oh, the older people, they won't know what to do. They'll just keep watching Fox. What do you mean older people want to know what to do? We're the people that create all the stake in technology. There's no significant piece of technology that a present person in 2023 has that we haven't handled or that our generation didn't create. You know, us oldsters, you know, we don't need to take some old people, you know, and I'm laughing about that. It is true. I mean, I learned how to do ticker, you know, ticker tape, computer programming and card computer programming. God, I probably forgot more than I remember, but I'll bet you I can still sit down on a machine. I can still sit down on a machine and do it. And the fact is that everybody is switching out to something else. Hell, see, a lot of people, we got a lot of people new that are coming here. Not because we're just like Joker Carlson or anything like that, but because everybody has now got that slam in the head with what they just did. So more people are being shaken awake, but not by us going up and slapping him in the face, but because the enemy went up and punched him in the gut, which I think is great. The best thing that could happen. Go ahead, jump in there. Yeah, I think they're talking about centenarians. I don't consider 60, 70, even 9-year-olds old. They all use computers and, you know, not all of them, but a lot of them. I know a lot of old people that, and I say old, and I shouldn't. They're not really old. I mean, I'm 64, and I don't consider, you know, unless you're over 100, you ain't old yet. Right. I've got that Okinawa attitude. Remember, at 70 years old, you're called a kid. The real Okinawans. Remember I've talked about that many times. How long can people live? Okinawans live longer than most people on the planet and they don't eat Dan and yogurt. Remember that old ad? But anyway, the thing here to look at is that where they're peeling these parts off also for another reason, in reality from one side's perspective, they're also getting rid of this because they can't afford a random comment being made when they plug in whatever BS they're going to plug in. I will say this first of all for any new listener and anybody else out there and some of you guys, there's a couple kids hopefully listening tonight and if not, I got to talk to them. They were talking about joining the Marines here. a little while back and by God if I have to walk over and slap your ass I will. No Wayne Hill, you join any of the services right now. You would be absolute cannon fodder for the insane, pedo, queer, purple-haired, Fruit Loop wokites that are the officers and the infrastructure, including the GSA counterpart management in the Donut of Destruction. They're all a bunch of stinking Fruit Loops. They hate you. They will set specifically up to get you heterosexuals killed. because that's part of the agenda. You've already seen this with the mass shooters, which have been going on for a while, where the queers and the petals and the fruit loop nutcases, still all on Prozac type drugs, on the psychotropics, have murdered people. The most recent examples, they don't want you to see what they wrote, because what did I say? They want to kill heterosexuals. They want to kill white people. They want to kill women. They hate all of the above. And it's the Fox, FAUX, the FAUX, the FAUX versions that are wanting to do this, the perverts, the hei sheets that are wanting to do this. When it reversed order, it's like, you know what? Most everybody does have the attitude, just leave me alone and just don't come over to me. Just come over and bother me. If you want to say hi, I'll say hi. But instead, there's this push, and that's what, you know, this is the next step. And it's not for the sake of the rank and file people who think that they're being empowered. The logical final step is to all of a sudden throw this pedo child molestation crap in and that's for all these characters at Davos, that's for all the monarchal types, the money types, because once you have so much of these digits and you can have any tactile entertainment you want, you start rolling over into the perversion category of like snuffing children, raping children, torturing women, torturing children, torturing people in general because it's the only thing that it's something that's titillating because it is a crime and their logic is that they're getting away with something because they're not caught because their fellow travelers are protecting them. The Podesta types, okay? So that's why they're getting to this point and they're pushing it. It's not because of the rankers. They could care less about these idiot sticks out here that are dying their hair purple and claim their woke. They'll execute them as fast as they will anybody else. I would ask again, do you think that any of the wokeites or keepers in the big plan? I think we all know better, right? They aren't the keepers. They're absolute organic sandbags. In the big fight, their purpose as less, lesser, not even pawns, lesser pawns, less than pawns, their purpose is to waste your time, burn up your resources, and do damage, and it distracts your fight from fighting the real problem, from going after the real problem. It consumes resources. And that's why I've said this thing starts the bumps in the in the curtain they get shot first those those other characters You can find them anytime you want they don't blend in But they see that bump in the curtain there see those those ring knockers that are all in the community here that all think that they're all in hidey-holes and we don't see them when they walk amongst us Well, everybody's been making lists and the first ones are gonna get plugged. They're gonna be those bastards wherever the hell they are That's who everybody's going after and everybody out there. You should all be thinking the same way the peon It's like like him. It's like the foreign forces You got Chinese troops on American streets with a six or seven Americans working as kick Carson scouts Okay to show them around You're standing there with a squad of infantry. Who do you shoot first? If you had a whole Chinese platoon and you have six American black uniform, knuckle dragon, TOSs that are queer, pedo-hesh-eats that have been hired because they're leftist turds, and you're standing there with 10 men able to fire a volley, who do you shoot first, people? You shoot the six bastards that are in those black uniforms. Now, they may all be in black uniforms, but you see those six Americans right there? They're running with the Chinese. You hammer the six that that are right there in front of you you want to know why because they'll make those uniforms Disappear and they'll blend they'll try to blend in lie their ass off or whatever the Chinaman they aren't gonna blend in Okay, one way or another you're gonna find them But those six that are betraying everybody and helping to push the globalist police state every one of those son of a buggers is dead Horribly dead make sure they're dead dead dead. I don't think twice about it Why? Because they could hide. They try to get away. They try to lie their ass off. I was always late. Right. That's why you were going door to door. That's why you were coming down to our neighborhood to go after, you know, somebody I like or maybe even somebody I don't know, but I probably would like. Do you know how that works? So again, this whole thing, no matter how we look at it, they're escalating in a particular. Also, there's a hyper action in a particular area. Texas is getting hit, hit, hit. Texas better start cleaning its house out Texas better be ready to clean out the place completely because the leftist or the toilet flush from California is part of the pressure from outside and then you've got the invasion coming across the border well somebody better get their act together lock block the border down number number one and number two B slap anybody that thinks they're gonna bring any more of the petal clear craft to Texas Because that is a problem right now. And in fact, the last couple of shooters, especially as I told you yesterday, it is the cartel norm to take people and coerce them through conversation into doing things. And I go so far as to say, I don't know any image that I can trust that the cops will be putting out there or the controlled media. because they've already told you they hate you and we've already caught them lying enough. So the idea that this guy, like this one guy he had swastikas on supposedly, and I've seen the image of this, you know what? The cartels do that. Well, no, they have the Azteca and all that. Yeah, well, if you're sending people across or you've got people and you walk up to them and tell them your family, you know, okay, they'll either kill you, kill the cat, kill the dog, kill the wife, kill the kids, or If you do this, they'll hand your wife a big lump of money. You go do this. We're going to cue you on what to do. Remember, they're not the ones thinking this up. The Israeli mob runs the cartels. It's the Jewish mob south of the border coordinating with the Jewish mob north of the border. You don't think so? You better do some background checks. So what it comes down to is the massage playing the same old game. You got two or three, four, five, six, seven characters. And the agenda that they are presenting is again, contrary to the ethnicity of the individual, but that's not a surprise. And the cartels always use this kind of violence every day. This is happening south of the border. The people of Mexico got got help them. Well, they need to rise up. I've said this for years. They're already to the point where the people of Mexico should have risen up, executed the cartels. They already did try to, they did start a revolt several years ago. We talked about it while it was happening on the air. And it was going from Michigouen to the other states. within a very quick and rapid phase step by step by step and the the farmers and the regular people were Killing off the cartels taking their weapons upgrading their capabilities and they were cascading and falling right over wiping out Cartel unit after cartel unit after cartel unit, you know who stepped in the Mexican Jewish federal government That's who stepped in and when I say Jewish back, you don't know the Mexican Constitution. I suggest you read it If you can find a true English copy, which you can, and understand that the Communist Revolution of 1917 in Mexico was kosher run. Where did Trotsky go? Okay. Well, the farmers would disarm because they were getting rid of the cartels and the cartels where they won't give the money, the brown envelopes to the government employees and to the police chiefs if they're dead. But on the other side of the border, all this stuff like you're seeing with these walk-up shootings like we just had, that's over on the other side every day. Tens and tens and tens and tens and tens and tens and tens and tens of thousands of Mexicans who are already unarmed by the Jewish mafia in Mexico. Mexican people can't have guns unless they surreptitiously hide something away. And if they use it, it's to save their life in desperation. Because if they use it otherwise, they have pressure from below the cartels trying to hit you if you hit them or if you did something to save yourself so you're gonna have to run. And then you're gonna be at the government's gonna chase after you pressure from above. What they're doing in Mexico is exactly how they're now operating in the United States. And so you have the same kind of random shootings and actions, but oh, we gotta get the guns. Well, of course the cartel wants the guns in Mexico. I mean Texas. I mean New Mexico. I mean, oh. They already got the guns in Mexico. But if they can disarm the peasants or demand that they be less capable, well then the cartels can start to have their way at the order of the Jewish mob. And the Jewish mob on this side will coordinate with the Jewish mob on the Mexican side. They will roll right up through the middle of Mexico, or forgive me, New Mexico, Texas. And they'll do what they've been doing in Mexico. And any time somebody kind of tries to do something, they're going to come out, they're going to be very vicious. And the federal government knows this. And the federal government likes it. Washington, D.C. likes this. They're making it and letting it happen. They're fully cooperating with the destruction of the sovereignty of the United States, which means Washington DC is in the process of and cooperating fully as an agent of treason against the sovereignty of the American people and the sovereignty of the nation state a combined Element of all 50 states put together as the Union. They're all involved in open treason. It's just that simple Now, what do you do? And again, the discussion yesterday was brought up. It's Weapons Wednesday. They want to quote-unquote have a border militia. Well, what's a border militia going to do? They're gonna be properly armed to defend themselves. Nope. They're gonna be oh, that's right more Walmart door greeter so that it'll cost Supposedly less because they're gonna find volunteers to be Walmart door greeter so they can just run these characters in the machine and run them all over the country and dump their ass and everybody's laps so that you they get to milk the Social Security system and steal every last dollar that you and I paid into that that POS insurance contract They will let them steal it blind. They're giving them special dispensation. And so all of these parasites are going to roll in and wow, it'll be their way of excusing that the kosher mafia, the bankers, have already stolen through a mouse hole or not really a cave tunnel in the back end of the big Social Security money pile that they were never supposed to touch. When they came up with Social Security, they told everybody there's no way it could ever go bankrupt. It'll never be short because they can't use the money for anything other than Social Security. And once they got that big pile of cash, and after they waited long enough, they lied their ass off to everybody and started capping the digits they were not supposed to touch. And the insurance even, the insurance, remember, is interest. The interest was absolutely required to compensate for what we all call inflation, which is the devaluation of the currency. Plus, it was a benefit to ensure that for the amount of money paid in, you would have more money available for the number of years you would live to the end of your days and your finances, your issues would be covered. Without all the restrictions that the communists have now put on, getting Social Security Because they're all oh you can't have this and you can't own that yes comrade worker We understand exactly what your little kosher mafia shyster pets are all about and so all of a sudden you can't own the things that you collected in your life that are a representation of your wealth and also your the inheritance and the history of your family, oh you need to, you have to sell all those, you have to get rid of all those, you need to give all those away, because otherwise the communists won't give you the money that at gunpoint they took from you. that with a gun they said they'd threaten they would come to your home and kill you if you didn't pay into they'd send agents now they have a whole bunch of new agents to threaten all of you other people out there but not the ones are coming across the border those people won't be bothered at all but because they need to steal more money they need 89,000 communists with guns to come out and steal from all of you what few of you might still be working or those of you that have anything they perceive as wealth so they can give it to the parasite walking across the border. Think that's special? That's just so special. Again, we do have work to do, and it is Weapons Wednesday. Well, of course, we do have real quick, we do have the grand opening coming up where they're just gonna basically, the floodgates are gonna hit, everybody knows that. You know what needs to be done? I think we all know what needs to be done. I think everybody knows. Let's talk about a few of the things here real quick. I wanted to get this in there. I've always had a bunch of people asking, well, first of all, don't get into the stupid mantra that smaller magazines are useless or why keep them around or why have them. I'm going to remind you something that's beautiful about the AR-15. The 30-round mag is nice. I mean, it's great It was a logical extension that would eventually pop up because the AKs had a 30 round and we just had to have a 30 round for the AR There's really 20s originally My god, how could we live with only 20 round mags? Well, actually we did quite well but Here's the thing that's really great about a 20 round air 15 mag and I'm gonna repeat this I have many times Guys, if you get a slick side plastic like the, I'll tell you what, the ones, the P-Mags are really great. They've got some really thin wall hex mags. They make some, and I don't mean 30 rounders with a spacer. I'm talking actual 20 rounders built as 20 round box magazines. Okay, as 20 round detachable mags. The neat thing about those is they fit in every stinking pocket you've got. If you take your wallet out of your back pocket, you can put one in the butt pocket on your left, the butt pocket on your right. You can put one in each one of your front pant pockets. If you have popcorn pockets, stick one in each one of those. Lay them sideways on the bottom of the pocket. And then still you can put one in any pocket you've got in your field jacket, your bomber coat, whatever you got. I mean the pockets inside and the pockets out. You know what? You can't tell that somebody's carrying those. Whoa, somebody just fell over sideways and hit their head. Sorry. And now they're dragging themselves across the microphone. It sounds like you're hurt. Are you okay? Are they taking you hostage? I hope you're alive. We'll send money later. It's okay. But anyway, so the reason I bring this up is especially for, you know, conceal ability while still being very, very, very well armed. The nice thing is this is for a light rifle. Now let's get back something I've mentioned many times. I know everybody thinks they really really want a short short short barrel there 15. Well you can do that. You can buy an upper but if you do just like what's gonna happen here with these these arm rests okay with the our arm brace. You know the bat faggot said and you know it's like is one of the congressman caught him on it right there when they were talking I said well you have to do is to touch the brace and put it over here and Take the rifle and put it over there and then well you're fine You're fine. Mr. Jiggles. Mr. Mr. Mumblemouth Jiggles bat faggot director, right? That's a lie He's lying. They lie constantly. They lie in front of the camera. They lie when you pick up the phone and talk to a bat faggot right now. It's, it's, well, you might not be able to now. Well, you do the 1-800 number. Sure you can. You call and say, hey, you know, I asked him a question. Well, the one bat faggot will give you an answer. So you wait till tomorrow. You call back. You don't get the same Bob, the bat faggot. You don't get, you know, the bat faggot agent. You get another one. You get Fred. And Fred gives you a totally different answer. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Because you see, they're intentionally arbitrary and capricious. They're nebulous about all of whatever they discuss or they claim. And they'll disclaim that either they, oh, well, I made a mistake and that's your problem, not mine. We decided to bust you anyway. Oh, by the way, where are you located? Who are you? What's your name? Where are you located? I can answer a question then, because he's writing down the information. That's why. So asking a question of these fools, first of all, they're lying, and at their discretion they will reconstruct and fabricate whatever line necessary to put charges on you. Why did I just qualify that from just saying I'm about getting an AR-15 short barrel upper? Because you don't want it with the rest of your weapons. You don't want it on the property. You don't want it anywhere near anything. Bury it somewhere. Do whatever you're going to do. And have a standard 16 inch barrel AR-15 for most of your work right now. Or a 20 if you're like Uncle Mark. I like the 20s. But I would say 16 inches just as good for now because it's the gladius of the day, which I've mentioned before. Well, if you can find an ultralight AR-15 upper and combine that like an M4, you know, with a traditional CAR-15 M4 type top as far as the handguard, doesn't need any rails or anything like that, and you absolutely minimize it, you're bringing the gun down to about five and a half pounds. In fact, you can bring it down to five and a half pounds if you go with a plumb crazy lower and you go with a ultra light AR-15, you know, 16 inch barrel carbine length gas system upper. Now what you have is a minimal weight weapon, very easily concealed as needed or at least put out of sight for the most part, even if just hanging over your shoulder for the most. And you've got magazines virtually all over your body. The coat you're wearing has got a magazine in each pocket. You got a magazine in each pant pocket. You got a magazine in each pant, you know, battle blouse underneath the coat and take your pick whatever kind of clothing you're wearing. Any pocket has a mag. And then you still can have a... throw away or detachable or untachable, battle belt, you can clip on real quick around your waist with another six rounds in a six mag pouch, a six mag three, let's say three pockets, two mags per pouch. Well, that's a whole, that's a lot of firepower, okay? Now, are you trying to be offensive or are you trying to be defensive? In the passive, not looking too serious, defensive. so that you really don't draw attention. This system works. And by the way, if you're wearing a jacket, you know, something that's a frothy jacket, the M65 field jacket is great for this. You can either blouse it up and tighten it up, or you can loosen it up and make it baggy, and it conceals and is less likely to print whatever you're wearing if you wanted to add a shoulder holster with a handgun, with a counter rig, with a couple mags. You can actually be very casual in terms of not appearing to be effective. And in reality, you have a whole pile of firepower on your person. And those 20 round mags are very conveniently out of the way. But you've got four mags in your pants, okay, two front, two back, that's 80 rounds. Let's say you only got two pockets in your shirt. Well, that's another 40 rounds, that's 120. Then your coat, maybe you got an M65, maybe you got a windless coat, maybe you got something like that. You've got a pocket inside the coat, there's a magazine there. You put two more in the slip pockets if that's all you had. But I'd pick a coat that has upper pockets with a couple of zippers and or pop, you know, with snaps and Velcro or Velcro, take your pick. Two slide pockets up above, two mags there, two more, if they do the math. And I'm telling you, it's casual. The thing is, you want to make sure that the cloth on the outside is a soft, light, super thin nylon. Because that will print far more easily than say a 65, 35 or 50-50 cotton polyester blend battle coat, battle jacket, or high density windless British coat. Those are fantastic. Plus they have pockets like there's no tomorrow. which is really great. Now that might stand out as far as in some areas. So the coat, the outer layer, is a matter of trying to be a little less maybe quote unquote ha ha militaristic. So it's a personal flavor choice there. You got to figure out what you're trying to do. But it's an excellent way to have a lot of firepower and still have the other six mags in a hanger pouch like we're talking about. Plus a mag in the weapon. Don't forget I'm not going to leave that hanging empty. If I can't get out of something with that, there's something wrong with my ability. It's that simple. The other cool thing is it's really not likely that anything's gonna hang up once you have the system worked out with regard to whatever you have in whatever pocket. In fact, much easier than in many cases actually having it in a mag pouch. That sounds weird, but think about it. Slip in and out, especially, I'll tell you what, they are slick. the PMAG type 20 rounders, you can get them a number of different configurations, just like Ken, there's several PMAG models. And hex mags are the same way, they're slick side. So they really are, once you've got a good grip on them, when you try to pull them out of your pocket, they're coming, they're not gonna be hanging up. Metal ones work just as well, have a little snag point on the mag cap end, only because of the very crisp angle on the base of the magazine. but it's something you can deal with, it's something you can make work. So again, prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance, so we'll think ahead. Don't forget that in the mix, put a compressor to somewhere and know where they are, make it standard for your troops so that everybody knows where the medical is. On that note, again, we still got a minute here, compresses are still the first best way to go with most of what you're doing. I know that they now have Finally embraced after decades of us fighting this uphill. All it took was what 10, 20, then 30 years worth of warfare. Because that's really what happened. A bloody horrific guys getting limbs chewed off left, right, up and down for them to acknowledge the tourniquet. It took 30 years worth of guys getting shot at in this, you know, from 1990 to the year 2022, 21. for them to figure out that tourniquets were logically part of the inventory. Now it's the social norm. But here's the problem with this, and it's where we have, everybody's been hyper, everybody gets hyper-specialized. The compress is still the first best choice. Putting pressure on the wound, if the wound is not a, you know, a pop and charlie where it looks like somebody's, you know, squeezing a bellows and, you know, poof. Oh wow, he's got an arterial spurt there. It's quite impressive. Almost a foot and a half. Wow, he's spraying everybody. That's obviously something that a tourniquet probably would still be your first choice because you got to stop losing the radiator fluid, okay? But you still want to put a compress once you get the bleeding stopped. In this case, you have to be a little bit of a mathematician. While the compresses also can be applied at the same time, you got more than one person helping, guess what? You have two different people to task. And one person's applying a compress to the wound area even with the arterial cut, while the other person's applying the tourniquet. But if it's any other kind of injury, and while it may be seeping, in other words, everything's gonna bleed, you get shot to a degree. But as long as it's not an arterial pump, Then Compress goes on and if it looks like you need a little more remember the foots and rule put a second compress on unlike the face bras that actually works because you've you have so much material and you're also Compressing with denser material in the same point The argument is that you're gonna torque that down. There are all kinds of tricks there. You you eventually see it firsthand but the the Tourniquet may be the first go-to because in the shortest period of time you need to prevent blood loss. And just holding something over what is a popping artery like that, you're not doing that much. Although I would still do it. Again, it's now. Get a tourniquet out of it. Now, now, now, now, tourniquet, tourniquet, tourniquet. Repeat it. Don't just say it once. Tourniquet. It's obvious that you're going to need that. I'm just holding this here because it's what I can do. Get the tourniquet out, cut that material away, get the tourniquet out, or leave the material there against the tourniquet out. Depends on how much time you have. Depends on how much blood you see laying around. So again, tourniquets are good, but you want the compressed bandage too. Now here's another thing that I'd recommend. Because those two are the first two in the toolbox, I know that IFAX. IFAX should be packed just the way they're packing them right now. because pretty much everything you're gonna need is in the iFAC, obviously. However, you know, Uncle Mark is paranoid about medical as far as not having enough. But I also believe in the idea that still having that compress in the front left station, it wasn't always a compass, uses a compass pouch because it's also the compress pouch. And as I told you, my units, people I train, we have a compress upper left, we have a compress on the belt line, front right. And then on top of that, since we pretty will make everybody carry a butt pack or fanny pack, we have a third compress on the back, either using a standard newer compress hanger, or if you can still find any cheap, the M1910 hanger compressor carless dressing pouch, which is designed to hold a compress, and you hang that off the fanny pack flap. But either way, it's gonna be on the right rear side. Why? because if you're hit and you've got a hole in your back and you flop forward, probably you have a hole in your front, the idea is right from the get-go, I'm going to start by not having to just check. I'm going to be applying the dressing as I then confirm when I lift the patient. that he's got a hole on the other end. I've already got my hand and the dressing in place on the back. I'm gonna roll the patient over, move the patient as needed. Maybe it's just the arm, maybe it's just the leg and I can move the patient on his side if he can cooperate. But one way or another, I've already got one part done. I'm not having to figure out how to not roll him in the dirt. Now I know a bunch of Israeli dressings are really fantastic and there's a bunch of American dressings that are really fantastic because they now make them with a double pad. Okay, so there are many of those out there. If that's the case, I would still pull the dressing, even as I'm looking, first take the one patch, apply it to the area of contact as I move the patient. There's a reason I don't get more junk, detritus, or debris into the wound area, which is already screwed up because there's all kinds of junk laying around that might have got kicked into it with all the booming, you know. Take your pick. This guy could be fragmentation casualty. Stuff was flying through the air at so many thousand feet per second. And not just the shrapnel that got him, but all the dirt, crud, cow manure, you name it, it's all going at the same speed. So the important thing to remember is we want to still preserve as much of the area as possible from any more cross-contamination. So the compress gets rolled out, put in place, now I can be tying that part of the wound channel off. And I can still be working on the front wound channel because with us, like I said, you'll either take the high point or the low point dressing and there's no real preference except area of contact. If it's an upper torso area, you take the upper left, the upper left compress. If it's a lower belt line and lower, you take the lower compress off the belt. Real easy to remember. You'll know, now why do you do this? SOP. If you know that a person's been hit and you look at him, he's got a lower leg injury or lower abdominal, maybe if it's big, it's going to have a bigger dressing on it, maybe anyway. But if it's a preparation, we'll do some kind or a gray slat. Oh, they're really ugly. Just went along the belly but didn't really cut the person open and spill the bowels. It just got a real nasty mess right there. It's looking like a night fight on steroids. You pop a compress on that, you lay that in place because it's right there in the lower area. Well, it's very obvious when you look at the patient. Okay, he's used the front and the rear dressing. He's used the lower because of where it is. So I know that if I have one, if I need one more dressing. Medical supplies are going to come short very, very quickly no matter where you are. You know that the upper dressing is still there. Now, you only take it if you were absolutely pressed in a field environment. Why? Even though it's not your first best choice, in a real, in an archaic condition, in a harrassic condition, better to have that one spare compressed dressing to use to replace one of the dressings. if you have to deal with the patient for more than 24 hours. You have to start, and I've mentioned this many times, you're gonna be taking days or even a week or more to move a patient to an area where they can be properly treated. So as the first responder medic, as the medic that maybe is the unit assigned medic, You have to understand you're walking your casualties out. There's no helicopter gonna show up. There may not be any vehicles that can move anyone. Your casualties are going out on leg and that not them walking necessarily although your walking wounded are gonna have to do what they can. But you're going to have to be prepared to use everything to the nth degree and the only reason I take that compress is if again I was running short and I had other casualties to develop and I will point something else out. The reason I don't necessarily want to take that man's equipment is because he can still get hurt again. Pickle finger, a fake doesn't know anybody, doesn't know any. There are no friends on the battlefield for any ordinance that's going off and going around. And your patient may still become a second tier patient yet again from another injury. So this is the balance. We always have to be thinking ahead. We always have to be thinking, have to make the decisions in advance. This is some of the stuff we talk about, the classes that we actually give on medical support. In fact, if I do it, everybody's asking here. We're going to be expanding the number of classes and we're going to be going around well up north here pretty soon. And one of the first things that we always touch on is medical. Well, guns, guns, yes, guns are nice. Everybody's got some. But because everybody's got some on both sides. The idea is, you know, again, husband your manpower, maintain your manpower, preserve your manpower. To do that, you need to be embracing medical support to the nth degree so that we can get the ball rolling to get the person a preserve, you know, preserve life and then transport and then improve life. Which is what we're that's the plan and again, sorry guys, you're not gonna retire. We're not unless you've got a real significant injury You can do something to keep up the fight Well, some people just get to make a personal decision there even with a limb missing I know a lot of people who wouldn't want to quit. I know I won't Okay, just remember that. So personal choices that will need to be made. But there's no retirement for this battlefield we can't afford to lose. We have to win. We have to win. No, we won't win every battle. We have to win the war. Period. That's all there is to it. It's already a given. This war will not stop until we win. That's the attitude everybody better have. Because the other side, if they have their way, they will kill you. They've already said they'd like to kill like $7 billion. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his... His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this... home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hope you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken a safe number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm And keep our country deep and dead put men of God in jail harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevailed Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths. They've sworn and your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Because I had no magazines and then I met a man who had no ammo. Oh my good Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Southwest, north, northeast, and west. Gentlemen, you were listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And we are on satellite, say hi to all our merchant marine operators across every ocean on the planet. We're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is, it's weapons Wednesday, it is the 10th of May, it is the 15th year of open obvious and pissing in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K2023 old earth calendar 2023 battle for the Republic the dance of swords and the betrayal is in motion just like in the dance of swords where did the management betray What was left of the American Patriot? What location was there that final backstab by the globalist to kill off the Patriots in uniform as the Communists make their move inside America? How would the setup take place? Because you know that is the plan. We all understand that. And for everybody out there, again, Weapons Wednesday, a couple of things real quick. You know, we've got TA-56, TA-58 British gear. We've got all the overlapping NATO gear, and there are a couple of systems pretty much kind of like US American TA-56. And then there's the TA90 Alice gear. And there's the add-on Granada rig that, so these are all workable systems. And in fact, since the A-15 is M16 A-15 is the weapon, and is gonna be for a very long time now, all these systems work for the rifle that you probably at least have one of, if not, hopefully 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 of. And that's a personal flavor choice. Some people I know have thousands of them. In fact, some of them have whole chambers full. They have been taking fortunes and in reality, considering what the value of some of the weapons are that they bought now, they are now in possession of things that are worth tens of millions of dollars. It's amazing. When I was younger, it's like everybody else. Well, this stuff is always going to be here. And then, of course, the well runs dry. And then you start pissing and moaning always with all this surplus because, did you get much they want for that? I mean, and I know it. I already told you. And guys, when you see something cheap, grab it. If Uncle Mark says grab it, there's a reason now. Remember a couple years ago and more now because it's been a lot three years 2020 about 2020 And then being we had the corona beer ryver scam hit that with the liars and the cheats the thieves and the wicked You know all playing their their mock care and parts in the betrayal and the destruction of the economy Remember all the body armor that came in Hungarian, I mean there were some beautiful brand-new on old, you know new old inventory is what it comes down to. Brand new in the package, new old inventory. How many of you took advantage of the British armor that came in? There was even some Osprey armor for a little bit. Now you aren't going to see much of that because it's all going to the, it's been going to the Ukraine. They're sucking all of that. It's like a black hole. That stuff is all being sucked towards, you know, Yuck, rain, the Yuck, rainians. And that's, you know, Y U C K Yuck, rainians and, uh, So that's why that stuff that was 30 $40 it was reasonably priced because it was bought for a very inexpensive price But some of you got the Italian armor with the ceramic panels for instance Some of you got the French some of you got the German I have tons Issued out or I have it tucked away in places all over the state here. Well, I'm used to buy those flick turn combat armored vests for $15 apiece or less when they were wholesale. Now retail, they were going from 35, which is still a good price. And for a little while there, all these things were in that price range. They kind of went out there. People looked at them, then they didn't want them. Oh, then it looks more serious and all of a sudden they just got sucked up and they're gone. And if you go out, you can still find, in fact, I'll give you an example. If you want to get a comparative price, go to KeepShooting.com. KeepShooting.com. KeepShooting.com. I should mention them more often. They do have deals here and there, but again, the price on the stuff is where I expected it to be with regard to the Cold War era and post Cold War era body armor. It ain't $40 a vest like it was during that little window when I told you guys to buy it, or $45, or $27, or $37. Whatever you got, you ran, you made out like a bandit. If you got any of the Italian stuff with the crotch armor, okay, the apron, which by the way, remember, all this stuff can be added to. You can go to a bow-tash, you can buy any panel you want. Well, it's not the latest. Oh yeah, it is. In fact, a lot of you guys, I already know you did, because you already showed me what you did, took those vests and they have all the existing armor, plus they threw some additional panels, some sleeves in. So I don't know what the actual rating is. It's over four. It's at the very least three plus plus. And you paid $40 for the cheapest plate carriers. In this case, you've got an entire system with shoulder armor, a gorges, you've got front plate armor, back plate armor, and a groin plate, a whole groin cover for the original investment was $40 or $37 for some of those when they marked them down in Sportsman's Guide. Now, you go over to Bowtesh, spend another $100 on some odds and ends new armor that they have, which is the encapsulated either soft plate or you can spend money on hard ceramic, not necessarily steel. I wouldn't necessarily go steel. But if you wanted to, you slide that in there. The carrier is much more adept at carrying and also distributing weight, I think, than most of the plate carriers that are out there. The existing vests that were made in place and the advantage in what I've been saying a million times Guys, this threat is going to be coming at you from all directions They're already acknowledging as is always the case in every stinking war not just in the 21st century or the 20th century Artillery and mortar fire and grenade is coming at you from all directions. So having full coverage to some degree is going to more likely save you. A full cover helmet is more valuable than trying to look ace space cool with the stuff that they've come up with. And most of the stuff that the military is using now is because they had to carve it open to accommodate electronics, the communications headsets. That's what most of it's doing. That's why you've got these basically like brain scoop pans that only cover to the front. and barely along the side of the crown of the head and then come back and cover the back of the head. But what about a side shot? In fact, already when I addressed that, what's happening now is they're building, oh, we can buy add-on side panels. Wait a minute, why didn't they just buy the helmet complete to offer more protection to the brain? Which by the way, if you lose the brain, the whole system goes. You know what I mean? In fact, why is it they aren't making, and this is interesting because I've noticed this, you've got the latest army helmet, if you haven't seen it, basically it's just a minor variation on the other army helmet we just had, which has the dollops off the side. Well, wait a minute. Why not make an over panel? You know, in other words, that basically will handle the average headset and actually snap it into place so that it still offers that shielded panel left and right, but it's a little more bulbous over the sides. It's not going to be any greater, but maybe by what, a full inch width between the two sides? But it's going to offer a whole hell of a lot more protection from stuff coming in sideways and it's as likely as not you're going to get your old beaner smacked there as front or back. Although needless to say you're supposed to be attacking and so you know the front better be covered. But it's just you know again things to look at here we go. As it is, you guys all did well. Now, the reason I bring this up about these multi-generational ideas is, of course, when we get into MOLI gear, there's lots of MOLI gear out there. You can find anything you want out there. Whatever you want to spend money on, by God, there's a person waiting for the money in your wallet. Trust me. But you can't do it more economically. There's an in-between system that I want to mention. And for all you guys, we are north. If you're anywhere in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, any of the northern climes, The Swiss uniforms are a very useful part of the inventory. The biggest problem is that the heyday of the Swiss Elpen Flage, as people call it, is, well, it's still out there and you can search around and find what you need, but the really, really, really cheap stuff, I don't know. And the biggest issue is also size. There seems to be a cache of it that keeps popping out. The oldest pattern of the Swiss, the old cut for the uniform, which is the heavier coat and the heavier pants, are a tactical weapon support system. They are not just a pair of pants and they're not just a coat. The suspension system inside the coat and in the pants was designed so that you put it on the wearer and you adjusted it appropriately so that it snugly fit where it needed to fit. Then, well, first the pants, then the jacket affixes to those suspenders and it's supposed to affix to, in other words, you latch the inner suspension system to the lower uniform component and now you have the operator ensconced in what is a tactical web gear system with clothing. Each of the pockets has individual magazine or equipment slots, if you've never looked at these. The even the hood even the hood itself, which is a these are this is a much denser material see herringbone weave that was typical for our US uniforms, you know during World War two and It's not like the 90 the 50-50 Vietnam or post-vietnam I era cloth you're familiar with it's much heavier can be passed on from generation to generation if it isn't beat up Even if it is, they fixed it, stitched it, I've seen it, and they kept issuing this stuff. But the hood, actually, if it's not been modified or somebody didn't get goofy, it actually even has a sniper veil built in over the face in the same camo pattern as the rest of the equipment. Now, the interesting thing is, since they were carrying the SIG rifle, A lot of different magazines will fit quite comfortably into the pockets of the tactical uniform combat gear system that's sitting there. You'll notice the back pockets are comparable in volume to a standard M1956 fanny pack between the two pockets to the rear. You'll notice that they also have minor subdivision and catch points. By the way, your canteen can be rested and nested in there. There was a backpack that came with the coat that was typically where the elongated Swiss canteens with canteen cup were stationed left and right to carry so much water. And then you still have the day pack in the middle for whatever else you wanted to carry there. In addition, the pockets internally are for magazines, medical compress, and all of the other items. And in fact, if you look, you can find a couple of instructional text on the subject, but you can pretty well figure it out by yourself. And so take into consideration that if you're in an area, if you can acquire the Swiss equipment and it's within your re-means for seasonal, where it really works well is in Michigan here is right now. back through winter and needles to say in front from the fall through the winter to a degree and then also into the spring where we have the brown leaf out that's still out there because the a lot of the leaves that hang in the trees are brown or reddish oak. Sumac hangs on sometimes but it varies depending where you are. and you have a lot of runny or reddish type material. People go, how does that work? In an office, it doesn't make sense. It's like the Czech airborne uniform. In the field, it is a predator uniform. Again, it's under what's called the dazzle technique, as they call it. where you have extreme contrast in colors and the eye does not have a particular set silhouette to lock on. And because of this, it creates literally mental disruption with regard to interpretation. That's its purpose. And at, for instance, even right now, though, we got more of the green showing up, where I'm looking out the window, I've got... red maple short hanging shrubs that are red, red, russet, all through the woods going out for as far as I can see it's a mix. And even the pine trees have to a degree a certain amount of ruddiness to them, which is where again, remember the, and the Alps, what kind of foliage, ground cover and rock are you going to run into? Okay. So the Swiss system is not a bad system. The only thing is that there are the newer type 90 uniforms and those are not cut as the tactical gear, like, you know, tactical system like we're talking about. They're a traditional conventional administrative and tactical uniform. They're not, you know, once he just office uniform, but they are well built, Swiss don't do anything cheap. And so there is an overlap. Now, what you can do is take the coat and use it with the type 90 uniforms of the newer era 70s, 90s uniforms, depending which one you can find. But remember that the pants are actually part of what supports your gear to keep it from flopping and whopping around. You adjust it to the operator. You don't just wear it, throw it out and wear it. You actually adjust it to the operator and then load everything up and then snug everything to make sure it's where it needs to be. But they are a good system. Helmet covers are still available out there in good number because that's the odd man out. And again, they were cut for the last model. steel helmet before they went to obviously Kevlar, which are like everybody else they have, although they still have some of the older 70 series helmets in play. So those helmet covers do make sense if you bought those helmets. Now we'll remind you again on body armor, a lot of the steel helmets that are out there are ballistic helmets. That's why when you pick them up, people go, man, this helmet's heavy. Yep, that's because it's pistol rated. That's why. And the Swiss helmets were pistol-rated and offer good ballistic defense. Even our US M1 piss pots, everybody would walk up and shoot with a .45 at point blank range and whatever. But it was designed with the helmet the way it is to absorb energy. It was the first of the more sophisticated laminate ballistic helmets. That's why that helmet liner is an integral and integrated part of the system. By itself, the materials are not as strong, but together, combined and worn, it creates a shock absorption system. Not with your head, but with regard to the covering. The metal shell with the fiberglass inner core. And the system works, by the way. So anyway, the Swiss system, that's that odd man out. If you take a look at any of the codes, if you can go to a surplus store, there's a couple of them up in the middle of the state here that are pretty big. Typically, they have some of the Swiss laying on the shelf. You can always go in there, take a look at it, and inspect the pockets. Look at them. Take a look at the inner pockets and the inner hanger points and how they set everything up. It's actually a pretty intelligent system. The Swiss are not stupid. They don't buy stuff if it doesn't work. In fact, it works quite well. Well, would it be, would you want necessarily wear the Swiss year round? Well, it does work in all seasons, but it works best in the, like I said, from the fall where it absolutely is a Predator uniform in Michigan. The Swiss camo in Michigan in fall is probably the single best tactical combat kit out there. By the way, yes, ponchos used to be available. Sometimes they are, they used to be a dime a dozen. It's surplus. They're not a dime a dozen anymore, but they are still out there circulating. So yes, you can acquire the rest of the system. And it is also a sized system. Something else I want to remind you about. It is a sized system. The ponchos are actually cut small, medium, large, and extra large. Same is true with those uniforms, obviously. And if you can find bigger cut uniforms, well, that's kind of hard to find. And as I pointed out, some of you guys out there listening know, if you're a big guy closer to the seven foot, we got a lot of seven foot men out there, you need to go up to four and five X to actually have proper scale and proportion for, you know, both your body, your torso and your arms. So yes, the Swiss makes some pretty big boys. And on occasion, some of that stuff bleeds out. There's no selecting it from the pile where it comes to the wholesaler. I will remind you again with surplus what they do guys when the when the when the Rent a Revolution Company is selling its stuff over here. The way the stuff comes here to the US is in basically what look like big but cotton bales. Okay, what they use is a comp a comp actor. You guys ever seen a cardboard compactor for a store? And when you're done, you bail everything up into this big, big, big bail. Looks like a cardboard cotton bail. Guys, that's how they bail the uniforms. Unless they're in some kind of existing storage system and they might leave them that way. You would hope they would. If not, if it's just milk from a surplus from a country and that company bought the tonnage, they bought a warehouse full of clothing. What they do is they compact it, they put it in the containers, they ship it over here. At this end, they got a crew in the warehouse, they open up the container, and they have to un-bail everything. Now, when they bailed this stuff up, they didn't size separate it. And this is why people go, why is it the small stuff sometimes only shows up? And then all of a sudden there's a bunch of big stuff and then there's a bunch of tiny stuff and then there's nothing. You know, it's like, what happened? Well, the, first of all, the stuff that just happened to me on the part of the pile that they got to first of the first two, three, four, five, or 10 containers. And these are big ass shipping containers, big containers, not the smaller ones. They're full of this clothing and they've hired a whole bunch of Mexicans to sort. They have a supervisor, knows what he's doing. They got a whole bunch of, you know, imports, and they open up the container. Trust me, I've been there when they did it. And wow, I'll just buy the whole container as is. I would, but they won't let you do that. And there's a reason. Because when they pack these containers, it was supposed to say be full of clothing. Anything can be inside the container to make sure that the load doesn't shift. And let me give you an example of that years ago. Remember all those nagut revolvers? The reason we got those nagut revolvers for $60 apiece and the next time they weren't so cheap is because they were just chucked into the, K into the shipping container as ballast. What? Yeah, they were just, those pistols weren't supposed to just come over here. They made a deal on them finally. They were made a last minute arrangement. But the long boxes that those nagat rifles came in was the perfect size to slide in one on top of the other to fill in the dead space where there was there was air space in between other crates of equipment they were shipping in weapons equipment, runner revolution, field gear, all kinds of stuff and so oh well just use this box these boxes fit they stuffed them in there and it was They got tactical boxes with a hundred pistols per box with their holsters and with you know mag pouches and cleaning kits and everything You know land side by side beside beside they had them stacked up inside the box So that is why they don't let you just go we'll open the container and you can buy everything in here Nope, nope, nope, because they find things stuffed in there. Trust me. I've been there and seen that too Okay Otherwise, yes, I would do that because I wouldn't mind the pig in a poke when the pig in a poke includes something else today. Oh, that's a surprise. That would be nice. Anyway, the surprise is that we're at the bottom of the hour and because we're at the bottom of the hour and it's weapons Wednesday, we have a particular bottom of the hour break. And so I am sure Edward. Going to give us an excellent example of what we've been doing on Liberty Tree radio on the Intel report on Weapons Wednesday. In our valleys there is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you're not the singing of the views of wild and free. Well, soon you'll know the right bow from the tree. Oh, the right bow, oh, the right bow. In our hands, the proof, no right bow. You may ride a goodly speed, you may not stern the master. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader just starts. Glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands, we'll prove no strife. I eat no graves at home, back across the briney water. That giddy must come, I swell up to the slaughter. But if we the job must do, then as soon as he's begun. If Clinton's figure holds a buck through, the quicker it will be done. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no right-ful. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no right-ful. I did mention a weather day has been perfect in Michigan. Blue sky, real high altitude haze. I don't know if they sprayed it or not. It may rolled over from where they sprayed someplace else, but generally a perfect temperature, about 72 degrees, clear and blue. And of course we are headed towards the evening hours now. We're pretty soon here. We're moving towards sunset. Not quite yet, but we're moving there. And for everybody, be careful if you're headed home because this is the time of day when the deers start moving to bed down or move around for feeding and water. And we don't need a venison, you know, waddling through your windshield. Okay. Or we just don't want to see them dead anyway. I, I, it's like watching all these geese out there. It's just, I look at that as look at all those geese dinners. I don't want them to get hurt. I want them to propagate. So we'll have even more goose dinners when the time comes. Right now we have goose gozzlings everywhere. Little babies all over the place, because the season was as reasonable as it was. We have mass production of Canadian goose this year. And I don't know what the ducks are going to look like, because the ducks are, of course, they're busy nesting too. And the swans. We just had a... fleet of swans go by yesterday beautiful at low altitude I mean of course they could have dropped some on us but they didn't fortunately. They didn't get excited if they had we did a strafing run on our hands which happens they get excited things happen yeah they lay a trail so to speak. Okay ammunition before I forget also over at surplus I've always mentioned aim but aim right now does have a few other big rifle solutions that came in you might want to go look at aim for the large calibers something you can figure out when you get there go to aim surplus punch in ammo and also classic firearms I'm trying to remember now we've had some SKS ammunition on the stripper clips coming in a little bit again I believe Atlantic picked up some of that again they have it listed They may be out of it, but they list it and then obviously they've got to still a confirmed source because they haven't pulled it from their inventory. They show that it was out of stock. However, if classic got it, then I would say probably Atlantic may have gotten some of the SKS on the stripper clip, Yugoslavian. We're not at war with you guys. They serve yet even though the Serbs are, you know, obviously having problems or stirring the pot in Kosovo. They don't, they're tired of the BS with, you know, our interference. And so there, there's things happening there. But for the moment, Again, it's in stripper clips, it's Cold War ammunition, it's in the sealed tins, I would shoot at a heartbeat, and again, I would keep it in hand and pre-deploy it wherever you can. I wouldn't open all the cans up, you don't need to, but if you can get extra can openers, depending on which type it is. If someone just have the wires zip led, if you're not familiar with that, do a little research, there's all kinds of people that have opened up the different ammo cans on YouTube. And so you can watch 100 different videos on how this stuff works. Now, again, the... You go solving ammunition may or may not be corrosive. Let's assume it is and that way we won't be have a problem. But with the SKS and the AK, they're very friendly for cleaning, easy to clean. You better be able to do it without a problem. You should understand it. So that 7.62x39 is very, very, very useful. Again, I would keep the corrosive ammo for combat operations because it is a Mercuric primer. It is more reliable, even though it's older ammunition, maybe, although some of this batch that came in, not this last time, but the time before, I think three watts back, was newer ammunition than expected by the headstamp. So, I don't know what they're doing. Again, it's either A, Surplus or B. They're just going through the warehouse and kicking out the oldest first until they get to the new stuff, and then they'll start selling that to us also. But however we look at, it's good ammunition. So, if you go over to classicfirearms.com, classicfirearms.com, classicfirearms.com, and also to aimsurplus.com for the heavy rifle. Atlantic firearms, which also have all the new modern firearms in play. They also have been getting a number of European items in, so you probably want to go look at them anyway to see what they've picked up. They do carry the PTR-91s in good quantity and the PTR-91s are an excellent firearm. Again, right now if it's a choice between the three, the M1A and the PTR-91 are the most reasonable price for magazines and for general magazine availability. You can still pick up the military aluminum or steel mags. Your choice, flavor choice, they're all pretty good quality. They're all German made. for a reasonable price and the PTR-91 is an excellent firearm. And again, it's American made, don't forget that on the East Coast. So again, that's Atlantic firearms. They do have other ammunition. I do not know what they have, but heads up, like I said, I know a lot of people keep asking and I've got people that are like on the regular list where, hey, if you're running any 760 by 39 ounce stripper clips, Well, the Yugo is the only one I know of. We haven't seen any Romanian in a while like that. We haven't seen any Hungarian. And I don't know if they're even selling or coming off any of that. You know, this is rather interesting because I expected the Poles to be smarter. And the Polish government, of course, has sold out or somehow got whatever delusions of stupidity because the kosher bankers talked him into it again just like they did before World War II. But they've completed inventory. They have damaged their economy in several ways, no matter how they try to argue it. If everybody helped put the kabochs to this conflict and settled the issue with the communists killing the Eastern Yugoslav, forgive me, Eastern Ukrainians, god, same difference. We wouldn't be in the situation we have been in and are seeing right now, but Hungary and one or two other nation states in Europe have been pretty smart because they know that we're not going to, we'll betray everybody there in a heartbeat. America cannot be trusted as far as an ally because all you have to do is look at Afghanistan. You have a very, very recent direction to look at, where you look at, point on the compass, go that way, look what happened, what's happened to the people that we quote unquote backed and we supposedly were going to support forever. Well, we didn't. Now, you think Europeans are stupid? Well, there's some that might be bought and paid for in management, they're absolute prostitutes. But Hungary appears to not be coming off as much material as it was. Now, it probably is still supplying something to the Ukrainians. You could do bargain basement and get away with that to a degree. But I get the feeling more hungry because they set up their borders, they lock themselves in for safety. They're not going to come off much if they can see that this war is going to escalate. And the part that nobody's talking about is with the Muslim waves that came in, you have a fifth column all through Europe. Churches have been burned. I think Notre Dame was a an arson by the Muslims. I don't care what anybody says I think they're laughing their ass off about that the Communists that are in the cat in the government could care less In fact, it was symbolic to burn the churches That's something that the Jewish Communists do in every country the operating or tournament to cattle stalls That was the other thing tournament of into barns. So with that being the case Hungary has actually seen the writing on the wall. I mean they already brushed the bullet by blocking the Muslim invaders from doing what they were supposed to do to Hungary and that really pissed off the kosher mafia. So this whole conflict, the Jewish mafia running the whole affair with regard to stirring the pot in Ukraine and operating all of the child molestation rings and child rape trade that's going on there. The secret biological research labs run by the Israelis in the US, 30 of those, etc. Well, if you're hungry and you're looking at how Poland bought into this and what happened, I don't think I'd be too stupid to open my gates, but I also would figure I better start hunkering down and taking good account of my equipment. And so this is why there was this little bleed of Hungarian stuff and then it just dropped. And the same is true. There wasn't that much to begin with. Hungary's not that big a country. But I would hope that they're smart enough that they're staying away from the stupidity and in the process when the time comes can deal more effectively with the betrayal that is inevitable that's coming. Again, that's why the surplus, you see this bleed out from one direction. Polish surplus ceased to exist. Anybody notice this? There was a certain amount of Polish material that was starting to come through. It's either A, really again, just like all the rest of these powers. They're now looking at war and being a warring faction, or they are involved in the war. Poland is not coming off any of its material because either A, they're using it themselves or B, since they've been suckered into helping to escalate the conflict, they're having to push whatever material they can into the hands of the Ukrainian troops because of consumption and combat loss. Now, if they're smart, they're not going to give them their brand new stuff first. They're going to take the oldest equipment or older material and they'll cyclically move that in. You got to remember when we say old, 30 years ago was the 90s after the fall of the wall with Poland, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia, but it would break up pretty quick. And even with Austria, once the Cold War ended, everybody while on the one hand felt, oh, we don't need to fight. But they immediately upgraded. They froze in place. And for instance, the Chex had a whole family of new equipment that they embraced. And then almost as quickly as they built it, because they got into NATO, they screwed their industry and had to throw it out. Now what am I talking about? Well, they went to the lightning bolt what they call the lightning bolt or lightning flash Woodland camo. You've probably seen some of it I've noticed for some strange reason that some of its come back into the system and If you do go to school, I tell you how to do this go to Sportsman's guide Go to their search point search Check or Czechoslovakia, just do Czechoslovakia and you'll get the Slovak of the Czech. Czech military surplus. There's only so many items there. If you look, you'll see that camouflage I'm talking about. Well, that was embraced right after the fall. And while it was in modern equipment, it's modern gear, there's mittens, you'll see that, you know, there was a complete system. And the web gear is available. And the body arbor is available. In fact, of all that body armor we talked about before, the check armor is still out there. If you go over to, I think, go over to CenterFireSystems.com, you'll see another example of that pattern over there because they have the check body armor in the vest, in the lightning pattern, about a hundred and some dollars of vest though. 175, I think, right around there. 165, 175, marking towards 200. Not cheap, but still cheaper than most, okay? But that is the kind of equipment that they're now kind of moving towards the Ukrainians. You're only gonna see so much in the way of imagery of the Ukrainians, and when you do, it's gonna be, well, whatever they have for propaganda, it'll be the best they can scrape together in terms of what the troops look like. But the Poles have equipment like this. The Hungarians had post-war technology that they embraced and have already started to fade in favor of the present generation for whatever reason. So that equipment is out there. Now we're seeing from Hungary some of theirs. But with Poland, that's all dried up. And there was really interesting stuff the Poles did. It was excellent gear. Still is. But it's just not out there and in fact the only place you might see some of that that's left Again, go over to keep shooting calm keep shooting calm and again do a search for Polish camouflage or Polish surplus and look to see what pops up. Now you may have to do more of a dig search, but the good thing about all these websites with all the surplus is they do offer good photo essays of the equipment. So you can let your fingers do the shopping, or at least understand the stuff through the internet pages. You can also go to YouTube, a bunch of videos on the subject, but not all of them complete. And the surplus market, sometimes again, like right now, there is a bunch of the check stuff. I believe over at Sportsman's Guide, you can get a TA check Woodland Lightning Bolt set of web gear right now. That wasn't available before. Only pieces were. And all of a sudden, there's like a complete system, which is left over from that earlier window. So just a heads up, this is why stuff isn't available because again, that hole in the wall, that one hole by itself isn't the only one. Syria is still going on. All the other conflicts in Arabia right now, okay, over in the Arab nations, the stuff that's going on. That's eating up a bunch of stuff. Now that may not necessarily come from the European Rental Revolution companies because that's on the Indian Ocean side and the Chinese and the Thai and the Pakistanis and the Indians, they have junk to sell too. And they're competing with those other people to get rid of their surplus so there's two markets competing which is why you'll see some interesting stuff there you won't see anywhere else. Each of these conflicts have a lot of history and especially it'll help you to understand You want to look to see how things are worked or how they're used because you're gonna end up using them We have a vast array of material to draw from and one cool thing about the militia in the United States is we don't have a set in iron supply system as far as TONE. We use what works With the system we've embraced and again we own more weapons than anybody else on the planet So pretty much any weapons system support gear you can find will apply to our inventory Okay, well at least here British and fuel stuff bunch of infield stuff apparently from some cash that did not necessarily directly come from Australia and If you go over to Center fire systems, which I mentioned go into their surplus scroll It's too vast to cover on the air here. You need to go through but if you have a British Enfield that has a few parts missing between CenterfireSystems.com Number two is Apex Gun Parts and I definitely say go to eight between those two You'll probably find everything you need but again was mentioned yesterday was gun parts numeric Larry's talking about numeric arms That's gun parts Corp Inc. Gun parts Corp Inc. Okay. Well gun parts, you know incorporated It's been around for longer, long as I've been alive actually. Maybe a little longer, I'm not sure. But anyway, another thing to check out. Go over to, well let's see, right now you can go to Royal Tiger Imports. Royal Tiger Imports. There are a bunch of Enfield items that they've been bringing in and he's been doing some deals if you're willing to pick up one of these Gunsmith specials There have been some things that he's been selling over there for 60 and 70 dollars a rifle now Sarco is another one. Now, forgive me, first of all, Royal Tiger imports, you got to go over and see what they have in their special bargain closeout clearance, gunsmith specials, but they have been doing rifles for as little as $60. Some of them have stock issues. Some of them have a few parts that are issues. Most of them are standard arms, but they do offer sometimes the end fields apparently and the end fields only last a few hours They've had a pile of they brought in and they've dumped them on the market cheap. Okay, really? This is probably the pickovers the better ones are up around three four five hundred dollars But the pickovers what little they have last only a few hours and they're gone Now I have not been to Sarco for a little bit If you go over to SARCO, and I've wondered about doing this, of course they could be just fence post rifles, but SARCO has British Enfield Number 4 Mark 1, barreled actions, rusty, for I think $15 a piece. The barrels are intact. Now what that means? Somebody would have to... It'd be worth it because you have to buy, I think, 10 or 12 of these at a time. And the more you buy, the cheaper they get. In fact, if you're willing to buy 100 of these, then you have a barreled receiver and a barreled action, a barreled receiver for... As little as I think seven dollars apiece whatever it is. It's $15.00. So if you buy a large smaller clutch, so Would that be worthwhile? Well in reality if you're willing to patiently put stuff together between Center fire systems comm and Apex gun parts they have parts by the box In other words, 10 of or five of and they have pretty much between the two or three of them, every part including bolts, bolt heads, because remember the infield is a very different system. The bolt head, you change the bolt head for head spacing and you have multiple numbered bolt heads. So you screw one off, you screw the other on, and your rifle's active again. When your rifle gets loose, guess what? You take the one head off, you put the gauge in, you put the number two head in, or number three, number four, whatever, and you check the spacing. Congratulations, the rifle's ready to go. You don't change anything other than the bolt head on the infield. So there is a ton of parts. for the number four mark one over at apexgunparts.com and they also have a pile of always in the sales section in multiples. Then if you go over to right now, centerfiresystems.com, there's a ton of parts there. Now these are 303 British. So would I consider these frontline weapons? No, but this is a good way to resurrect a whole bunch of useful firearms. The stock issue, they do offer surplus stocks, but that's really where the bite is. And to be quite honest, I think your better choice would be to go to the Chote type Zytel nylon stocks that are presently available for a very reasonable price because not that many people are interested in them. And you can also make a quantity deal on those. And that would settle your furniture as far as your basic hardware to nest the rifle. So the other issue, magazines, tons of magazines out there right now, aftermarket or a present issue. And between all the different surplus companies and a few niche companies, they have the infield mags, they don't really want them. So the price is not as great. There are a couple of solutions there. Ammunition, I'd go, preview part is on, PPU. Now there is surplus stuff out there, but the PPU ammunition, good first time every time. And I just diligently put a certain amount away. Would this be a good way to build up an inventory of additional or supplemental high powered rifles? Yes. Would they also be a way to build a Grenadiers weapon? What? Oh, oh, that's right. Let's let's think about this. Is the barrel really great on the rifle? No. What's the cost for a spigot rifle grenade launcher for a number four mark one infield? About $11. So I can attach a spigot launcher load a bunch of to spec rifle grenade blanks. That's not a training blank, a rifle grenade blank. And I could use the Enfield as a specified Grenadier's weapon for rifle grenade. And since I've lightened it up as much as I can, wouldn't be a bad thing. Going with the sporter I stock would work quite well. Oh, that's pretty impressive. So there's a consideration. At the very least, it's a launch tool. And again, yeah, there's plenty of other ideas out there, but there's tons. Right now, there is an odd man out amount of the Enfield stuff laying around. It's kind of like the Carcanos. With the Carcanos, it's the stripper clips and the ammunition, because rifles are readily available. Then there's the ammunition, there's no surplus out there. It's going to all be brand new factory. Now you may find somebody with a cache of Italian ammo that might want to come off it. but you're typically going to be buying PPU. With the Enfield, you're in the same boat. We're at the far end of the inventory for 303 British. There is some military Canadian that's come out recently. There is also a little bit of Yugoslavian that somebody dug out of some hole. But you're best bet most likely for the price. If you're going to spend close to a dollar a round, why not buy brand new factory ammunition? And the PPU 303 British is brand new boxer prime heat and nailed ready to roll pop pop boom boom ammo Because if they're gonna charge you a dollar plus around for military ball Canadian from 1965 or 70 and you paying less than a dollar for 303 British brand new ammunition from PPU for less than a dollar, I'd say spend your money on the PPU and that runs out, go buy the Canadian stuff. I mean as far as available for the moment. In fact, if any of your listing, because I always have people, I've got a whole list of people asking about 303 British. I know why. Everybody bought the Indian rifles and the Australian rifles and a whole bunch of the regular British rifles that came in in a one big wave here several years ago. The only thing is you can't take them out and just blaze away with them like you used to because the surplus ammo is not there. But they are a serviceable firearm. I don't want to get shot by it. And again, for the kind of work that you would give, you know, they could give this weapon out as a security weapon or auxiliary weapon in a defense where you need other firearms on standby because somebody's going to drop a weapon, they may save themselves, but they may not save their weapon. And while, yeah, I'd love to have something, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, read the list, brand new, that may not be what's available. Another neat thing is if you do it right, you've got a whole bunch of cash guns that can be greased up and buried. And you're not going to cry much about them. You can put them together for a good price gradually if you just think everything through with the Enfields. And that would be a nice weapon with a couple hundred rounds of ammunition or more. Everything properly stored and sealed. And you dig it up and you go kill Ching Li when the time comes. Because Ching Li thought he was going to put boot on America. Well, we'll make sure that doesn't happen. Okay, so anyway again apex gun parts calm Center fire systems calm to a degree If you're listening on Wednesday May the 10th then we are indeed live You're welcome to call in if you like And you enter, let me see here. I'm trying to do some other things here at the same time. Kind of scrambled to get something together tonight for the show. So if you have a topic you want to talk about, we can go there if you'd like. Otherwise, I've got some things started here. Let's see. One thing I wanted to, I guess I have to address is this Ukraine nuclear power plant, Zaparisha. I've been hearing all such, let me see, I didn't have time, excuse me, I didn't have time to do this. Let me get the latest on this, live while I'm doing this here. Let's say past day, because there's been a lot of conflicting reports I've seen over the last couple of days. Russia to evacuate, this is Reuters. Russia to evacuate more Zephyrisha nuclear workers. Right out the bat, I'm gonna tell you, regardless what all the, there's a lot of fear mongering out there, of course. I haven't seen a spike in order, so I guess a lot of people don't seem to be worried about it. And you shouldn't be, unless maybe you live right there, because frankly, even if everybody walked away from that plant, first of all, they're what they call cold shutdown right now, for one. So there's almost no chance of melting down, and the cold, the, spent fuel, spent fuel rods in the pools, same sort of issue. Now, if you lose power for a long period of time, you can start having those catch fire. But frankly, the risk is fairly low. That's never happened before. If the plant were to melt down completely, this is a design that has containment vessels. Everything would melt and be within a containment vessel. And so nobody would die, essentially. It would be like Fukushima. Nobody died because even though they had three full meltdowns, they were in containment vessels. That's what they're designed for. They're the last ditch effort. If you lose all power, nobody's there. It melts down. Most of the radiation will stay right inside those containment vessels. So you really don't have anything to worry about. But, of course, they'll talk about catastrophicness and dangerous and potentially dangerous. It's nothing that you really have to worry about, but it looks, but it says here is Russian forces are planning to evacuate more than 3000 workers from the town that serves the occupied separation nuclear power plant. Resulting in a catastrophic lack of personnel Ukraine state owned. The company said on Wednesday today last week the head of the UN nuclear power watchdog Rafael Rossi He said the situation around the Russian-held nuclear station have become potentially dangerous after Moscow and solved officials began Evacuating people from nearby areas. Okay, so it doesn't mean they're melting down. That's what a lot of people been saying Why evacuating I don't like maybe there's gonna be more more going on there. I don't know Maybe they're gonna take somebody's gonna try to take over the plan again Who knows it doesn't make sense for either side to want to destroy the plant first of all you got to understand that if Ukraine thinks it's gonna get that area back from the Russians They're not gonna want to strike that plant. That plant is a multi-billion dollar plant They're not gonna turn into a multi-billion dollar liability and same for the Russians of the Russians would hold it now If they think they're going to continue to occupy that, why would they destroy it? That makes no sense whatsoever. Again, a multi-billion dollar facility, and you're going to take it and turn it into a multi-billion dollar liability with all the cleanup that would be involved. So neither side wants that plant destroyed. You have to understand that. That's why I've been worried about that since day one. But the greenies will use that as more ammunition to try to demonize nuclear and make you think that nuclear is bad and evil and we've got to get rid of nuclear. That's what's going to be what's already happening and then the supposed bombing that we've seen over the last year Since this whole thing has been taking place with the power plant It's it's a Ukraine as Ukraine dropping bombs nearby. You notice that they never really hit anything They're funny. They got these smart bombs and smart weapons and they just can't seem to hit a nuclear power plant No, it's Ukraine dropping bombs nearby. So the media picks up on that the plan is being bombed and they can go on TV and radio and scream out. Oh, it being bombed is being bombed and and then Again, try to get you to send more money to Ukraine. Are we getting a little tired sending money to grain Ukraine's gonna lose this, you know, they're gonna have to go to the negotiating table and and give up basically letting Russia have what it's gained and that's what it's gonna have to happen. I mean the media, the mainstream media in the US has been trying to convince us otherwise. They kept talking about this next wave, this spring offensive, but where is it? It's not gonna happen. They don't have enough people, Paul. Every able-bodied Ukrainian male was basically kept from leaving the country and then constricted into the military. And a lot of them did by choice anyway, but they only have so many people. Whereas Russia could just keep sending more and more people to become bodies out there. Ukraine can't do that. Unless they get NATO involved, you can't keep, Ukraine can't just send more bodies in. They've got a limited number unless they start putting in women and children too or the ages, which that could happen yet, I suppose. But as long as we keep sending the money, that thing's going to continue. Until they run out of people, then they're going to have to get more people somehow. And then it'll take a whole generation to get another generation of people-bodied males to fight the war in Ukraine without getting made involved. Now you're somebody trying to join in there? I might hurt somebody. No? Okay. So I'm not worried about this Ukraine thing as far as the nuclear power plant. What else is in the news? Got to wonder what's going to happen with this next election. Now this next election is going to be kind of strange. Why? Why? Why is Biden running? I think the Democrats are going to have to throw him under the bus. Otherwise, they're looking at a major loss, I think, and Harris. What is this? Oh, God. The Democratic Party is going to be such a loser unless the Republican Party puts in somebody that's such a loser as well. Now, the Republican Party, frankly, The more things that they try to pin on Donald Trump and try to make him look bad in the press in his hardcore Supporters probably won't hurt with those people but a lot of the general population at large might be kind of Looking at us again about this this recent this what happened today with the judge against him and all the things that have happened and are happening over the last Couple of years since he's been out of office to him They might decide to throw down a cup under the bus, too. The Republicans. Trying to get somebody up there with a kind of a clean slate, because Donald Trump's got a lot of problems there. Would he win against Biden? Probably. But who knows what other stuff they're going to pull out of their hat to try to make Donald Trump look mad, because that's what they're doing. They're doing anything they can to try to make Donald Trump look mad. It'll be interesting, but we might see. You've got to remember, even though Biden is running, doesn't mean he's going to be the candidate. I mean, it's likely he would be and once something else happens, and that's what I'm saying by throwing him on the bus, they might actually purposely start telling people about the whole Biden, the computer, what the, Hunter Biden. They might, all they have to do is start telling the mainstream media about what's going on with that, and then that'd be an easy way to throw Biden under the bus if they want to. And what are they going to do? They're going to pick Harris. I think you've got to throw her under the bus with him because Harris certainly couldn't win against anybody, any Republican. And Donald Trump's got all those encumbrances, shall we say, all the things that are coming out, coming out of it, that have bothered him, which we've already known a lot of these things, but obviously the mainstream media is making a big deal out of all of it to try to make him look bad, to try to bring down his rankings. And so maybe the Republicans will go to somebody else and throw him under the bus too. Again, just because Donald Trump says he's running doesn't mean he will be the candidate. It might not be a Biden and Trump fight in this coming election. Could be two different completely different people. And then who's Trump going to pick for his vice presidential? That would be interesting, because he picks. Because I don't think he's going to go with Pence again. Doesn't seem like that's going to be much of a possibility, because he's already thrown Pence under the bus. In fact, he did that on January 6th, didn't he? Anybody want to call in because I'm going to go on to another topic here. I'm trying to go things in the news. I haven't really been, I've been very busy cutting and burning trees that fall with in Michigan where I have some property and we had the big ice storms. Well, I lost dozens of trees, full-size trees and I've got a mess that have been working. I've been It had about probably about seven full days of burning at this point of gathering big bonfires, cutting chainsaw and burning just so much of it. trouble getting away the woods as far as the limbs but even the main trunks of trees have been having trouble finding anybody who wants to take it because frankly so many people around here have had downed trees that nobody's hurting for firewood this coming winter I don't think. I think a lot of people have already stocked up on the firewood. I've got a lot of it. We've got probably probably about four cores is worth so far literally four cores of firewood that side the stuff I've already burned. I probably burned about 10 cords. It was just limbs and branches. I was quite a little early today, you know, so I say, I had to do a shiver that I've been running and dragging and I get leg cramps. When I work a lot... A lot of people get this. Does this happen to you? I can tell you my solution. If you do a lot of heavy work one day and then you go to bed, then about one or two in the morning, your legs just lock up and then you out send you to the floor of pain. That never happened to you. A lot of people have that. I have that only when I have a lot of heavy physical activity that day. I get that. So did a lot of research and what I found for me that works and may not work for everybody, there's other things you can do, but it's generally considered an electrolyte to balance them and more specifically, generally a magnesium deficiency. And with magnesium, you should take also potassium with it to balance those two compounds. So I've been taking magnesium, or pathols actually. When I know I'm going to be working heavy that day, I take a couple of them in the morning and then I'm going to get home, a couple of them after I've done working. And I've also been trying to, I've been experimenting with this client line, it's another thing that people were saying. And I can jury still out for me on that, but I think it does seem to be helping. I have not had a problem with leg cramps using both the, the magnesium with potassium and the quinine bar. So you might want to research those and see what might be worked for you if you have that sort of problem. I generally don't have a problem unless I'm doing a lot of heavy work and I've been doing a lot of heavy work with all this woodworking that I've been doing. Okay, nobody's calling in. The next topic then. I wanted to talk about a lot of people are considering Solar, global tanks, and wind energy, alternative energy. And I want to go over specifically solar mostly. I won't talk about wind much tonight, I don't think. We'll talk about solar because solar seems to be the most access of the alternative energy that people are trying to use, utilize. Now, there's the major, the major thing you're going to have to consider when you're thinking about going solar. Are you doing it for saving money? Are you doing it for, to be off the grid? What are you doing? That's your first main decision. If you're going solar, you generally go one or two directions. You either go for being independent off the grid. Meaning you would be using batteries and some other source of way to store that energy as heat where electricity and batteries To be off the grid or are you using it just to save money on your utility bill or maybe to pay your tire? You do the utility bill might be grid intertides So those are the two directions that the very first thing you have to this they have to think about About which direction what what your goal are you are you trying to save money? Are you trying to? Generate power without being in the grid That's your major choice. You have to think about right off the bat. And you can do a combination of both. But generally, one will be able to do it. And frankly, most people today, they are putting solar panels on their roofs because the price has come down to hardware. They're putting solar panels on their roofs to try to save money on the utility bill, or their hope is to eliminate the utility bill. That's like, that would be like the ultimate goal. In other words, you're generating so much electricity because when you generate electricity on the roof of your home and you connect it to the grid and you produce more energy, more electricity than you're actually using at that time, it gets sent back to the grid and essentially you get paid usually at what they call an avoided cost to send that electricity back to the grid. So you might be getting charged 15 cents per kilowatt hour. coming into your home, but maybe going out, you might be paying, you might be getting paid eight cents a kilowatt or something of that nature. Depending, every state's a little different, you have different rules on that. But I think all of them, as far as I've ever seen, I think all of them have a grid intertie option. Sometimes maybe even a grid intertie option. requirement where where they can't refuse. And again, you're going to check your local utility to find out the details on that. But perhaps about it can tell you one, you're not going to have enough solar panels to make your energy bill to be zero, your electrical bill to be zero. It depends. It depends. But you don't even have a broom on your rooftop to make that happen in the wintertime. So here's the thing. Okay. First of all, you have to determine your loans. What are you using electrically in your home that will... And I'm taking home... I'm talking home here because that's what most of us listening here. We're not talking about necessarily business. We're not talking about a factory or anything like that. We're talking about your home or maybe just your garage. You know, maybe your garage is too... or your barn is too far away from the... From your house to run a wire from the house to the bar and something like that you might need any kind of system for the bar and that's fine. Well, we're talking here the potential essentially The numbers are going to be giving you so you need to determine your loans. So what do you got in that bar and use it? Is it something that now if it's great intertide and you're worried about connecting the bar into the house because it's too far to run a wire then you've been obviously that's gonna be an independent system because Because you have the wire going, you also don't need to sell the power back from your bar or whatever. So, again, you either you're selling the electricity back to the utility or you're storing it just for yourself, your own use. Is somebody there trying to join in? I'm hearing some things. No, I'm coming up. Some feedback. Somebody's got something up too loud. I think I'm not sure what I'm hearing. Okay. So you need to determine your load. So look at everything you have plug in your grid to your house. Look what your toaster is. What is your toaster? It's going to be probably the neighborhood of 1100 to 1500 watts. It's pretty high power, but you're only using it for a few minutes at a time. So that's the thing you have to consider. You have to consider the wattage and how much it's running. And then you can come up with a number of watts per hour or kilowatt hour. A kilowatt means a thousand watts. But if you can, you just have, that's just a matter of a decimal place being moved while you're talking kilowatts or megawatts or terawatts. It's just a matter of moving the decimal place over three points. So everybody's familiar with watts. So your typical LED light these days only has like eight to three watts, six to eight watts, somewhere in there. Very low compared to an incandescent one because that's like a 60-watt equivalent. Whereas the old incandescent bulbs, which you can't even really get anymore, I don't think, 60 watts would produce the same amount of light from an old incandescent bulb as a 6 or 7, 8 watt bulb of the LED today. So you save a lot of money by either using LEDs or compact glasses. But anyways, count up the number of light bulbs and the approximate number of hours you use them each day. This is all going to be, this is all, you have to get all these numbers together. It's a lot of work. That's what your refrigerator is running. Now your refrigerator, unfortunately, it may, it may, it may surge at like a thousand watts when it starts up and then run continuously at a couple hundred watts. But then it doesn't run all the time. You know, it shuts off and it does, it cycles it on and off all throughout the day. And the best way to determine what that refrigerator uses, if you have an intermittent running device like that, is to get something that there's a brand, I'm not necessarily recommending this brand, there's other brands too, but there's something called a Kilowatt. Kilowatt. That's three words hyphenated, Kilowatt. And it's a device you can plug into your wall and then you can plug your refrigerator into it. And it's got a computer-based thing where it basically records the amount of watts and how long it's run, and it can give you over the course of day or week or month or whatever exactly how many Kilowatt hours that refrigerator uses in a month. week, whatever time frame you choose. So that's the best way to determine how much something is intermittent like that. Or your furnace. Your furnace is going to be harder to do because your furnace just doesn't plug in if you have an electric pan on your furnace. So you're going to have to look at the lines of that blower motor and you're going to have to make a determination of how many hours it might run during the day in the winter time. And of course, that'll be different every day. So there's a lot of variables, a whole lot of variables. So you're going to be making some gains. But the closer you get to how much power you're actually, electricity you're actually using, you've got to be careful when I'm saying power or electricity because power is not just electricity. Because that's another thing. If you're trying to go off grid, you're going to need, first of all, to convert anything electric that you can to natural gas or propane. Your water heater. That's going to take a lot of electricity. Your electric stove. A gas stove. You're going to be able to deal with it more because you're not going to be able to get a solar system, a photovoltaic system big enough to run your entire house off grid. You're not going to be able to do it. That's in the wintertime. Electric heat, electric salt, electric water, you know, like a dryer. Anything that heats up takes a lot of electricity and you're going to have to convert that over to propane or natural gas if you got it. There's almost no other way. I mean, of course, you can use wood to do some of those things. You could cook with wood. Yes, you can cook. You can heat your house with wood. You can heat water with wood. So you can do it if you want to do wood. You can do it, but you have to get it off the level. You're not going to be able to do it like it's just gonna be such a massive system. Well not number one You're not being reported number two. It's just not gonna because not even gonna work in the wintertime It's not gonna cover the bases at all You have several acres of solar panels Craig tonight, but in here for a second. Hi there It's it down here in Texas I'm hearing you say you can't do it with wood. I would recommend people go to the FEMA website and look up for the plans for a wood gasifying generator. Also, you can go to YouTube, watch other people who have done this. Because natural gas and propane, hey, that sounds great, but it takes power. you can use the power to generate the to fill those tanks. You know, if there's no power or anything, you're going to be limited to what you have on the shelf. If you want something that is renewable that you can run your generator off of your round would. Would gasified generators vector guys are doing wood powered trucks using the same technology. Find it online. You can talk to the guys are doing the trucks. You can see some of the. generators that have been built out of junk that run out of one off of wood gas or other things that produce the low gas at a extreme low flame. Well, wood gas, okay, you're talking about burning wood. Typically, wood gas is used for heating. What? But you can't get up to make into an electricity for a fuel for a generator because you have the Nazis actually Use that technology because they're having such problems with fuel That they were actually trying to get vehicles running off of wood gas and they did they had some that were from off of wood gas and basically your wood gases, but the process would guess I have a gas station boiler Wood gas actually, technically it's actually baking the wood. You do like the fire the same way, but essentially it bakes the wood and it drives off the gases. And the gases are what you burn in like, say, some sort of internal combustion engine. So wood gas can be used. I don't know anybody's boiling it. I know there are some people who have. Craig, there are a lot of people doing it down here in Texas and there are a lot of people doing it up north. In fact, there are YouTube communities of people showing their different builds. It acts surprisingly enough. The FEMA emergency preparedness website actually has blueprints on how to make a wood gas power generator. And there are people who have taken those blueprints and passed them around and shown people how to build them. But with my wood gasification boiler, for instance, it actually obtains up to 86% efficiency. And that's remarkable for wood. And what it does, essentially, it has a fan that down-grasses the gases, and it burns underneath a combustion chamber, underneath the flue, which turns at about 2,000 degrees. And so it actually consumes the creosote as well. If the birds are at such a high temperature, they can actually, again, I'm talking about a heater here. I'm not talking about, this is a boiler. I'm not talking about a generator at this point. Wood gas can be used, but it's going to be a lot of work. You still have to do what melts with wood. And that's not what I mean talking about. I'm talking about solar for your home. And you're going to have to convert all those things that supply the heat. Such as the electric stove electric bar heater electric electric furnace all that electric stuff. You're gonna have to go with something else Okay, if you want to go with one gas you can do that Maybe but that's that you're gonna have a hard time. You're gonna have a hard time doing it the way that you're talking about. Well when you're talking about alternative power, Craig, the better thing to do is to have a handful of different ways to generate power. Because none of them. None of the alternative power sources are 100% all the time, whether it be solar wind. Even the wood gas, you know, work as long as you got something to burn, but you may maybe at a point where you got to chop the year it is. Wind may not be 100% solution, but part of the year it is. You know, wood gas is just another, uh, tool on the belt as it were. Which you know, we've gotten away from the idea that we are multifaceted people. We always have been. We've been one of the smartest. countries in the world as far as what we've produced, we have gotten to the point where we've let monopolies convince us and the public pool system that we need one solution and only that solution will work. Rather than we need a multifaceted solution, something that, yeah, it may not work 100% a year, but it will get you through and save your fuel when you need it in the winter. We used to think about that and do things seasonally. The American people, as far as the majority of the public goes, they've lost that. What gas is put into the category of biofuels. When they talk about biofuels, that's one of the methods that where gas is classified on. But back to solar because if you want to try to if you want to try to generate electricity about you basically have to build something yourself You have to do some conversion to if you're gonna use a standard generator that usually is using diesel or gasoline You're gonna have to do some convergence with some fennel with to make it work and it's not gonna be easy But if you like I go right ahead I can tell you with my experience with wood gas that It's finicky enough to get the proper combustion going and to keep it that way You have to fiddle with it. It's not something you can just turn on and forget about it and just keep adding wood. It doesn't really work that way. It's going to take some work to keep it that way. But solar does not take any work. Solar works. Solar works. For electricity, it's the better way, in my opinion, than wood gases and options. Now, one thing you have to worry about with solar The greenies lie all the time about solar. Just forget everything you think you knew and you're going to have to do some research because they won't tell you these things. Right now the average solar installation on some, typically people put them on their rooms, the average solar system in the US right now is what they say, 5,000 watts or 5 kilowatts. Now that number is extremely deceptive and the grading like use that number as being such a great thing But it actually I'm going to go over some numbers here. It's not at all but But I'm going to go over with you right now because I have some real life examples From a system that I'm sitting underneath right now. It's 4000 watts So I thought quite the average is slightly less than average is 4000 watt rating and then that's the difference you got to look at whether you're getting rated or you're getting actual production numbers because 4000 watts rated if a solar array puts out 4000 watts, in 24 hours it would put out 96 kilowatt hours, and in 30 days it would put out 2880 kilowatt hours. But it doesn't do that. It doesn't do that at all. Because it's not sunny 24 hours a day. Essentially, see this is something the greenies don't tell you this the greenie say oh, so solar is cheaper than whatever The nuclear for us, but no solar is actually a lot more expensive than nuclear Yeah, the price of hardware came down But the reality is a whole lot different. Let's let's let's go over some numbers here. This is hope I'm not gonna get too confusing Today it was sunny today, but the day is not over with but yesterday it was also sunny here and again a 4,000 water rate it put out Let's see, 28.4 kilowatt hours. Now, if it was, and the best day I've ever had is 33 kilowatt hours. Now, again, this is a 4,000-watt system. This should be putting out 96, right? Because it's not sunny 24 hours a day. And any cloud that passes over dramatically drops your production. And there's a whole lot more losses here, which I'm going to go over here. You're saying they're rated at a certain electricity output, but that's not what you're going to get in real life. Real life is basically in the summertime, if you think you need to charge your batteries up at 4,000 watts, let's say, you need 4,000 watts electricity going into your batteries, to charge your batteries up at all times to keep your house running, you're going to need a system four times larger. Four times larger than the four thousand watts in the summer time in the winter time you're in the system 30 times larger To generate that electricity you think you're gonna get 30 times larger now your roof of your house Don't care how big a house you have you'll have enough roof on your house to have that many solar panels You have to have a have them on the yard You have to have a fuel on them or whatever if you thought you were gonna try to do this in the winter time especially because here's some numbers These are real numbers the system I'm setting under right now. These are real numbers the best month I've ever had on this system for four years with the data The best I've ever had is 700 kilowatt hours Per month that would be generally in June because June has the longer days the longer daylight hours So the best that's ever had was 702 kilowatt hours. So wait a minute. It should have four times that right? It should have 2880 by the calculation But again, no matter how hard I try, I can't generate any electricity at night with my solar panels. The full moon doesn't do it. Full moon doesn't do it. It puts out nothing. So you have to quadruple the size of your system to get what you think you're getting if you use the numbers that's on the solar panel or the numbers the greenies give you. So the greenies give you a comparing solar, a solar plant to a nuclear plant. They're like, oh yeah, this is a one megawatt plant and a one megawatt solar plant. It's not equal, right? But they're not. You automatically have to increase that to four times larger for the solar one to make the output of something that's that nuclear plant. But it gets worse. It gets a lot worse. So you have to do calculations. And there are internet, there's websites you can go to where you can do these calculations and they do take some of these other... The winter time you have... The worst month I've ever had in winter time was January of this past year, 84.3 kilowatt hours for the entire month. Now keep in mind, yesterday I had to lose 28 kilowatt hours just in one day. Because you have less daylight hours, you have potentially depending where in the country you are, you have snow. Typically, it's going to be cloudier in the wintertime, again depending where in the country you are. And so all those things in combination cut your electricity production dramatically in the summertime, in the wintertime. So the numbers, the worst month I ever get basically is about 84 kilowatt hours, whereas the best month is 702 kilowatt hours. Huge difference there. So if you're living off grid, you have to have a system so huge that if you have anything electric that heats, other than your hair dryer and your toaster, things that only run for a few minutes, you're talking about a massive system you're not going to be able to afford or even want to deal with. So that's why you need to convert anything that heats, like your electric heater, your water heater, your electric stove, your electric dryer. All these things that heat, that run a little longer than a few minutes, you're going to have to convert them to something else, okay? You want to convert them to wood gas. I've never seen anybody do a wood gas dryer, but okay, whatever. You can do it if you want to try to do that. But all these things are going to take... Too much electricity in the wintertime to deal with whatsoever and and and that's when you need the heat Wood is a great option for being off grid, but you're also going to need a generator some kind Gasoline diesel or wood gas you want trying wood. Yes, you're going to need a generator in the middle You're almost no way around it unless you unless you have access to the grid as well. You're supplementing with the grid Again, we're talking off grid. You're not going to be able to do it along with just so Unfortunately, now just a brief mention about wind. Wind can take up that some in the wintertime. Generally, there's a little windier. Again, it depends on where in the country you are. So wind can take up a little bit of that. And so you're good to look at wind as well as a supplement to solar, especially for the wintertime. That's an option you need to investigate. But keep in mind also the ratings of wind machines are rated. All the ones that I've seen for residential use, for home scale, 25 miles per hour. Now, in most places in the country, it's not 25 miles an hour wind all the time, 24-7. Sometimes it's zero. Sometimes you look up your wind machine, it doesn't run at all. Same thing with solar. At night it's not producing anything. Wind machines will not produce anything when it's that windy, obviously. So, the same kind of rules apply. 25 miles per hour is the rating, but most places in the country, you're only going to get an average of about 7 or 8 miles per hour wind. Again, it depends on where you're located. The Internet has good resources. You can look up the closest airport because they have good data from airports. You can look up for average wind speeds and that will change throughout the year. So December and January will probably be windier than June and July, right? Typically. Again, it depends where in the country you are and you'll have to look that up. So anyway, wind can be supplemental in the winter time. It can be supplemental anything. especially when you need it most of the wintertime. So, one more time, I still got about 15 minutes. So here's another thing that the greenies don't tell you, especially when they're comparing, because they try to make it look like solar is so cheap. It's not full. Yeah, the prices come down from the wall. But solar, especially on the grid, if you think about this, solar doesn't even work on the grid without something else backing it up. Case in point, California. If you want to see how to destroy a grid, look at California, look to Germany. California, they already have too much solar. They pretty much maxed out because now what they're having to do is when on sunny days when they're getting good solar production, they're having to, they have been paying Arizona to take the electricity. It's got to go somewhere. The grid is an instantaneous thing. You have to match the grid. You have to have these load following plants to be able to back up solar facilities. Solar might be able to cover the entire grid for certain, like maybe at noon. That's another thing people understand. Solar My system might be producing almost 4,000 watts at noon for about an hour around noon, but at 7 o'clock in the morning or 8 o'clock at night in the summertime, it might only be producing 100 to 200 watts instead of 4,000. Because the sun has a lower angle, it's going to have less solar insulance on the panels. So if you look at a bell curve, literally a bell curve, you look at the solar production on a cloudless day, It's a perfect milker. It starts at zero, goes up, peaks out at noon, it goes back down to nothing. And of course, nothing isn't midnight. It starts at, in this case, right now, this time of year, about six in the morning and maybe eight at night, at least in this time zone I'm in right now. So it doesn't immediately jump to four-of-a-nothing watts or whatever it's rated at. It takes all day to get there. And then it's only there for an hour in the middle of the day. Here's something else they don't tell you. Compute the greenies they'll tell you. The rating of the panels are when they're brand new. So although this system I'm sitting under is rated at 4,000 watts and I can't get 4,000, I've never got 4,000 watts out of it, even at noon, on a completely clear day. Because after the panels are exposed to sunlight for even just a few hours, the panels degrade by 1%. Right out of the box, they degrade 1%. And each year thereafter, roughly a half a percent that the panels degrade. So that age will start working on your panels. So you need to be better consideration now That's not a whole lot But I'm gonna list a bunch of things and by the time you that I'm gonna list here of things that are gonna steal more energy from you From your solar panels by the time all said and done even on a perfectly sunny day You're gonna have about only about 26.2 percent of the electricity you thought you were gonna get from those solar panels because of all the other loss List some of them now. There's actually about dozen things in it. I'm like what's the ones that are like a percent or higher? The angle of the sun, all throughout the year, and the angle is different every minute of the day, essentially. The more perpendicular your panels are to the sun, the rays, the more energy you're going to get, the more electricity you're going to get. Now typically, especially if they're on your roof, you have no way of typically adjusting the angle of them. And so your solar panels are only going to be optimized for one or two particular times of the year where it's perfect, your roof is at a perfect angle. Now you can get adjustable ones. You can even get solar trackers. They're very rare today. I know I have one, but the solar trackers are very rare today. Where they actually... Points the panels at the Sun all day soon as the Sun comes up It's pointing directly at the panel at the Sun and then it moves all throughout the day automatically and then goes to sunset and It's completely perpendicular to the Sun and then after the Sun goes down mine returns back to the East and waits for the Sun to come up again But those are kind of rare today that was in the days when solar panels were about ten times the price of they are now and so you're trying to optimize your Your panel efficiency and it's not as big of a deal today. You're gonna lose about three to five percent typically Because of the angle of the Sun Because they're not gonna be perfect all year again the more perpendicular that more 90 degrees to the Sun perpendicular Yeah perpendicular the more perpendicular they are to the Sun The best performance you're gonna gather so you're gonna lose all three to five percent there dirt once smoke Things are dropping, things on your panels. You can lose about 5%. Cleaning them is not a huge deal, but it's a pain in the butt, especially if you're going to do it a lot. So you can almost count on losing about 5% of your electricity you thought you were going to get because of dirt on the panels, garbage on the panels. I already talked about age. One is that you look for the first few hours of installation and then half a percent every year thereafter. These panels don't last forever. Now, depending on what type of panel you have and what the manufacturer claims, you're going to have to count a 15 to 30 year lifetime lifespan of a solar panel. Now, they'll still, as long as they're damaged, they'll still work past 30 years, but they're going to be degrading more and more. At some point, it just makes more sense to replace them. That's another thing the greenies will tell you when they're comparing to... to let's say a nuclear power plant which lasts like 80 years, 60 years. Where solar panels are going to have to replace about every 20, 25 years. And then you have to replace those solar panels two or three times during the same lifespan of that nuclear power plant that they're claiming that nuclear is way too expensive. You have to replace those solar panels two or three times in the same lifespan of that nuclear plant. Now that it's going to have to be four times the size you think you're going to need because of the losses. And another 25% on that because of the losses that I just mentioned, not just the losses, not just the typical everyday losses of not having 24-hour sun. These are all things that bring these heights from you when they're comparing nuclear. I'm a proponent for nuclear. I'm more of a proponent to get the media to tell the truth about everything and not lie about certain things. and how they're pushing this agenda with the solar and wind, you think that's better. And it's not. If it's not sunny out and you have these solar panels connected to the grid, at night they produce nothing. So you have to have what you have to have. You have to have coal, natural gas, nuclear. You have to have something else. So if the greenies want to get rid of nuclear, what does that leave you? It leaves you with fossil fuels. Hey, Craig. I've got fuel. I've got an extra cost that you didn't mention that's not on most people's minds. In fact, down here, the companies that have been selling solar in the neighborhood, they have been caught on this a couple of times because they're supposed to check, but they don't. they'll tell you that insurance will cover any damage to your roof, but on most and anybody who's thinking about doing solar through a state funded whatever needs to look at this. If you're building that you're living in or that you plan on putting the solar on has a wood chip roof, their insurance won't cover it. like a chipboard, uh, plywood roof rather than a normal plywood roof. And down here in the neighborhood I'm in, uh, they've sold solar to a bunch of people and, uh, the first one they put it in, man, started having a problem with his roof leaking. And they came back and told him, well, we don't cover that because it's a wood chip roof. And that's something you have to check with your insurance company before the installation. Well, you have to check with their insurance company because they're the ones telling you that they insure it and that it's covered by everything. Except there are limitations and they don't tell you about those limitations because they're just assuming everybody has the right type of roof to have the solar panels on. They just want to sell it and get it out there as fast as possible. And the same thing with the degradation. Wind generators also generally only last about 20 years. So you're placing a wind farm about three or four times in the same lifespan of the nuclear plant, let's say. But the solar production, when it's zero, you have to have fossil fuels. And one of the greenies telling us they're going to have to do away with fossil fuels too. So what in the hell? The only other thing, the only other options you have there, now hydroelectric is actually a very good option, but I'm... The greenies also don't want to expand hydroelectric and we can't really expand hydroelectric much anyway for most parts of the world because those resources have already been utilized. But the greenies also don't like hydroelectric because of the turtles or whatever. So they're trying to keep us away from hydroelectric, trying to keep us away from nuclear. Then you got geothermal. Now geothermal is a great option in certain parts of the world, especially Iceland and I think New Zealand is a good place. Anywhere there's a volcanic activity potential. You've got good geothermal. Now, in this country, we actually have the largest geothermal production in the world in this country, but it only produces like 0.4% of our electricity. So it doesn't work reliably, practically everywhere. It can work anywhere. You dig deep enough, drill a deep enough hole and have the right kind of conditions below grade. It can work anywhere. But it costs so much and it becomes a big problem. The only places really that have become viable geothermal is if it's in a volcanic basically area. Iceland, it gets like almost 100% of its power from geothermal. electricity and heat to heat homes. So geothermal is great, but unfortunately, this is not very good everywhere. That only means now hydroelectric has the great advantage of having storage because both hydroelectric plants can cut back their water usage. And throttle them back so they're generating less electricity at certain times and more electricity when they need work. You have something what you call peak load. When people come home from work, five an evening, six an evening, that's when, when they go out and peak electricity, electricity demand goes up and up. And that's when the fun's going down. So, some of that, not going to work. You're going to have to have fossil fuels to back it up. Or something else. But what is that something else? Hydroelectric is about the only thing hydroelectric and geothermal in a few parts of the world is the only thing left that's going to back up our grid when you've got supposedly 100% renewables, which I call ruinables, because that's what they're going to do. They're going to ruin our grid. To think any country can go 100% renewables unless you're in Iceland or some other very rare circumstances, you're going to destroy your grid. In Germany, there's a funny story I don't have in front of me here, but Germany. There's all tiles being destroyed by coal mining. They do strip mining. And whole communities being eliminated. And one recently here in the last year, there was a story about a wind farm that was going to be destroyed because they've making more room for coal. How ironic is that? Because that's what you need. You need more coal if you're going to eliminate, like Germany did, they eliminated nuclear. When you eliminate things that actually work, nuclear works 24-7. It doesn't depend on the sun going up and down and clouds and snow on your panels and all that stuff. It's 24-7 except for times when it's down to maintenance or whatever is going on. 100% of the time, what it's rated for. But not solar, not wind. That's what you have to get. You have to look through the crap that the greenies are telling us. Our grid is already in such a bad state. And now they want to have electric cars in the mix. Do we have the lithium potential? Do we have cobalt? All these minerals that's going to be needed, there's been a lot of people that have suggested that there's not even enough minerals in the world to be able to do this, to be mined, to do what they think they're going to do. You're going to make every car electric by 2035. Every new car, that's what I think that's what California wants to do. I can't remember what the US standard is. How are you going to do this? Where are you going to get to all these minerals and more batteries for the grid? You know right now, if the power went out worldwide, this is a worldwide industry standard. Worldwide, if all generating capacity went dead right now, We have a total of one minute and 12 seconds worth of electricity and storage that could be utilized. That includes things like pump storage batteries. You're not going to get enough batteries made to do what the greenies pretend they're going to do to make 100% renewables. Any time a green comes up with this 100% renewables, you really need to look at what the numbers are giving you. And I'm trying to give you the ammunition to cut through their craft to understand that they are lying to you big time. They have an agenda. Agenda appears to be destroying the grid. Make sure you don't have the energy to do what you want to be able to do. Lack of freedom, lack of energy freedom. And that's, and they're doing it with gasoline, they're doing it with everything. The greenies are destroying the grid. Now, I'm not opposed to eliminating fossil fuels, but I don't think you can. Unless there's some other major technological breakthrough in energy storage technology or in way to general. If fusion ever gets working, okay, if fusion ever gets working, maybe that's the answer. I don't know. I've been promised all my life fusion just around the corner and still won't see it. It's not here. Fission works though. We know fission works, we know how to work it. And it's the safest and it's clean. Nothing wrong with it, but no, the greenies can't have that. There's an agenda, a political agenda, which is going to destroy the grid. Unless you heat the warning signs, look at California, look at Germany. Germany's coal use went up when they shut down their nuclear. You see 25% of their electricity by nuclear energy. Now they're now there's zero that's what they're zero zero percent Now they just had to increase cold cold natural gas molecules have learned something Because that's the only that's the only you're not Germany isn't great for hydroelectric Germany isn't a big place for putting up storage Just a whole lot of problem I thank everybody for listening. I'm gonna go on YouTube live. We wanna go there. I'm gonna go there for a while. My channel is closed in. It's easy to use. I'm filled with TVs and no space to do the video. So I'm gonna go on YouTube. I'm gonna go there in about five minutes. I wanna go right there. If that's what you can coordinate on, then you can do it over time. Thanks everybody for listening. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame number you trade it in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm and keep our country but men of God in jail harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn and your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? and gentlemen, Evening Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornke, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, northwest, southeast, and southwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And we're on satellite, we're on our merchant marine operators, virtually on every ocean on the planet, also Anchorage Harbor facilities in inland, and we're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is, well, it's weapons Wednesday. It is the 10th of May, it is the 15th year of open and in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2023 old earth calendar 2023 battle for the Republic the dance of swords Book one and the betrayal which is what we're in right now the betrayal Interesting piece pewter. I found a pewter coin It is the size of a thick Eisenhower type dollar coin and it is a Horatio Gates Pass coin. I have never seen this before. It is of course everything was done in Latin. It's a commemorative. I believe by what I've already been able to find out. Now it's not an old coin. It's designed to look like an old coin, but it is a pass coin is what I can see or a commemorative coin for general Horatio Gates Pass coin. the one who started running and didn't stop until he got two states away. Yeah, that general from the one he was mentioned in the Patriot. Okay. Why would they have Gates with that? Well, Gates had some good propaganda people working for him constantly too and some promotionals inside the Continental Congress. And in the earlier stages of the war, he slid through, greased his way through, with the help of Benedict Arnold, really because of the work Benedict Arnold did. Gates, of course, ended up making certain brownie points. And this coin is well executed for what it is. It's got a good strike on both sides. It shows Gates himself a left-sided silhouette, typical for the era as far as quality and condition, all Latin on board the coin itself as far as all of the other etchings, and a surrender. image with many troops behind. Well, I would hope that it's Gates that's taking the surrender of the sword from a British officer. Maybe it's the other way around. It could have been Gates, you know, and his big plan to, you know, fumble things up completely. But it is interesting, and again, watch out for stuff like this. I found this in an odd location, and I got it for a really good price, and it's worth it just because. I mean, as one of those many historical pieces goes into my collection, I would say by looking at it, it was probably done as a restripe commemorative of the original from the Bicentennial, 1973 to 1976, right around there. and I put my money towards 75, 76. So anyway, it was a very interesting piece to find. I'm sure there might be other, you know, others that were done during the same period, not the original, but as again, commemoratives for the Bicentennial of American Revolution. So just again, cool stuff that we find every once in a while. It's Weapons Wednesday, by the way. And I don't know, I was having some difficulty with the Sarco page today. So I'm gonna ask everybody, if you can get to Sarco, I am curious. The posting of the page is there, but getting into the page has been a problem. So anybody listening, if you wanna do me a little favor off the air, separate from what I'm doing, but give us a heads up. A reason I was going to follow up to make sure and see what combinations they had in those British Enfields in the receivers and complete weapons and receiver section. There's a couple of different places where you can look and these deals are typically posted at the very end. They're not the front of the page or at the very end of the subsection. So you might want to check that out. But let me know if you can hook up to Sarco in the first place. I'd be very fascinated about that. And again, Sarco is one of the many old, old, old parts companies. They've been around for a very long time, all of my life, literally. And if you recall, Sarco used to do four, five, six, seven page ads in the Shotgun News for forever, as long as the Shotgun News was printed. The only big competitor they had for big ads like that is that CDNN Sports. the biggest magazines, you know, general seller in the country usually had two, three to six pages of their own. So they were like the, they were competitive advertisers. They had a lot of pages in the shotgun news, typically that were theirs. And they'd roller coaster it with different postings, obviously, and they have specials and everything else. But SARCO is into either making parts or taking inventories of parts that they acquire and offering them in different combinations or selling the individual parts. They do kits and they do subcomponent kits, etc., for the .45 and many other guns, ARs, M1As, M1-grands, etc. The other thing that Sarco has, which by the way is also available through APEC templates, is field gear. And in fact, unique field gear for different periods with Sarco. And also modern equipment or modern designs utilizing World War II or Rhodesian camouflage. So you'll find a mix of different items there. You might want to check it out because some of you are using certain patterns and you might like these particular camos for your area of operation. The old row camo, the Rhodesian camouflage was the cat's meow years ago. Kind of have it, you know, that got to have it tactical. I think I have about four or five of the pieces from the era. I know I've got a row tactical that I used to wear when I was originally not when I originally built out for when I first started out for up for training command Because we were looking for stuff that was different We used a bunch of the Rhodesian stuff initially and some of you probably have pictures with you're with the up for With me with the Rhodesian type two field blows, which was an excellent condition. Actually, it seemed possible to find anything like it nowadays. It was only brought in from an individual I served with, is how I got that. And I had quite a collection back then. And I had a lot of stuff that was one of a kinder because the guys were coming back, they'd gone out after they're at the end of the Vietnam War. Everybody was coming back from Indonesia or coming back from, you know, Africa like Rhodesia or with the South African fiasco and they'd usually bring their kit or spares back with them and they were thinking of me so I ended up with some pretty cool stuff. I even have some of their night patrol camouflage uniforms, not all, not a complete uniform, but I have the blouse and I think I have one pair of shorts which, you know, wouldn't wear much around here but They're in the night camo, which has the purple and the lavender and the dark colors with a light dark contrast extreme. And again, it was designed to foil your natural night vision. Most everybody did not have utility night vision in service. So everybody was counting on, especially in the deep dark brush, we're out in the savanna. just natural night vision to do the work for you. So the first thing to do is disrupt the basic organic image with whatever colors make more sense. And they actually did a lot of research on that. The big thing here is they also have cartridge belts and cartridge pockets and magazine pouches for things. that are kind of unique. In fact, if you're using a bolt gun, a lot of people have asked me, what kind of polishes would you use? I'm gonna use a bolt gunner for this or that. Well, actually, there's some pretty cool, at Sarco, there's some pretty cool original spec, Boer War, British Zulu War era magazine pockets where they've got the entire kit or part of the kit. They have a number of Russian, I think you've even got some of the other French. You take a look at what they have. I don't know what they've got in stock right now because they have changed inventory and when they sell down, I don't think they're worrying about building back up. They build a lot of this in their own sweatshop. They have their own sewing room. They have their own company that does this. And they've done some really nice stuff. Now some of it comes in from China also. But if you're looking for a combat kit, I actually do like the boar cartridge, the cartridge belts are perfect because you can sling it over your shoulder real quick. They're individual pockets and they have individual rings inside the pocket so the ammunition is not slopping around. Of course, they also accommodate the five round stripper clips which are typical for the Mauser and or for the Enfield. So they work really well. But of course, they're just a quick pickup. So if you're carrying the rifle, maybe something for water and, you know, ammunition, it's a great grab, grab go. Which is not bad. So just something to think about there go over to circle see what they have over at apex gun parts They have a whole bunch of new Tactical or conventional molly type or you know chest rigs and different types of vests and they're doing them in several of the different Eastern European camouflages that they've either acquired some of the original cloth, I don't think so. They may have had it printed or they bought it from China. China's producing all these things. But they're doing it in, for instance, the East German camouflages and a number of other patterns. You have to go take a look, go to Apex Gun Parts. And they may have added to that, but they've got some interesting rigs and it's pretty good design. A lot of people who picked them up were happy with them. So, the solutions and also fun to look at anyway. You just never know what you're going to do. Maybe it'll give you an idea of something that can be done. And if you're into building or sewing and, you know, construction, there you go. You have, you know, again, look at the ideas everybody else has come up with. See if they work for you or if you can come up with something that might be just a hair better. I would remind you if you're going to build chess pouches, for instance. Right from the get-go years ago, we did this with the Mark II chest pouch, a copy of the Chinese three pocket AK chest pouch. If you look in the equipping for the new World Order part two video, when I did that, the chest rig, if you'll notice, has a larger central pocket. And it's because at the time we were acquiring massive numbers of the 75 round Chinese drums. They work, they work all day. But finding something that was effective to carry them in that would be you know, make sense It's kind of tough. And so what we did is the the chest rig you'll see there. It's actually in the video It's on the table. We have it, you know with one of the drums in some partial inside the magazines there for example Is was built by Michigan militia manufacturing, you know triple-m and In addition to that the one thing that we in one of comment too much on but because you're wearing that drum to your front there's no real way to make it where you're not going to have a sharp spot so here's what we did. In the back of that rig we stitched in a pocket similar to the one that's on the original chest pouch is the Chinese made but we built it so that you could you know initially it has padding a cotton bat padding that is behind the pouch itself. And then there's another pocket, you know, there's the rest of the pocket there. And we cut Kevlar panels to create chicken plate body armor, kind of like carrying a plate carrier now, for the front behind the chest pouch. So no matter what, you're not gonna get poked. There's little sharp pointy spots on those drums because of the way that the head pitches for the connect to the magazine well. There's little pokey spots all over the thing. Not gonna hurt you right away, but if you're carrying that thing, I don't care how you try to carry them, something jabs you. Now, up until that point, and even today, if you're looking for a quick fix for a carrier that actually is a little padded, but I will tell you it also retains moisture, which is a problem. The two-quart Vietnam era, post-Vietnam era canteen covers. The two-quart for the bladders. Remember those? Used to be they were a bread and butter item in surplus. They're a little harder to find out, but they are out there. And the pouch itself is perfect for an AK47 75 round drum. It's padded all the way around but remember that that fur padding on the inside is a like the wool padding in your regular canteen cover is designed to hold moisture That's not really can be conducive to great health when you're trying to keep something from rusting But they actually do work. If you recall on those canteen covers, they have a couple of D-rings for hangers, but they also have the Alice clips. So you can either A, put a carry strap on it and just strap that pouch over top of your shoulder, over your neck and stick your arm in it, keep it from bouncing around too much, but it would still give you another drum. If you needed to, you're carrying a drum in the weapon, you're carrying a drum over your shoulder, you've got the other stick mags, the other regular banana mags for the AK, that's a lot of firepower. And as you know, one of the policies we have is anybody that's carrying whatever weapon you have, it takes a magazine and it's your primary weapon for motion, in other words, patrol. then we want you to have at least one drum or the largest stick magazine that's functional, that works best, in the weapon for traveling. And the logic behind this is immediate response in what might be a hasty ambush or a prepared ambush is needless to say, you return fire. So in traveling, everybody's carrying the largest volume capacity magazine that they can. If you have select fire down the road because you've acquired an enemy weapon, then you push it over to full auto and you hose down the attacker and you engage. You don't try to run, you don't try to stay in place, you're in a kill zone. If you try to retrograde out, you're going to end up going into the secondary kill zone. So your best bet is put it on select fire and hose down the objective and everybody fire, pour everything on you can because if you don't you're dead. You're in a bad situation. If you're semi-auto, just keep pulling the trigger until it's empty. When it's empty, you disconnect the mag, drop it right there, don't think about it. Just keep paying attention to who you're going to be shooting at, extract another mag, insert the magazine and continue to fight. Remember in that situation specifically, the counter ambush in a situation like that, if you are stuck in the middle of the column, in the middle of the kill zone, then don't worry about where the mags go. Fire and drop, fire and drop, fire and drop. In fact, you should be thinking more about where's that next magazine coming from, than worry about where that magazine went. Okay, the one you just emptied, if you win, you might come back and get it. If you don't win, ain't gonna make no difference in the world. See how that works? If the fickle finger of fate's got you on that one, then keep fighting because your buddies are counting on you and you're counting on them. Keep up the fight. If hit, you're in the kill zone, continue to sustain fire with whatever weapon you can. Expend your grenades, whatever you've got, no matter what, use everything you have. That's the basic rule about counter ambush action where you're in the ambush area of activity. Typically, if you're lucky, it's hasty. If it's hasty, not well prepared, it can be dealt with. If it is a prepared ambush, it's more difficult to deal with, but you can, if you use proper force, break an ambush like that, no matter where it is. You have to say, yeah, just get away from the kill zone because that's where the pyrotechnics are set up. Try to back off out of the kill zone. You walk into the secondary kill zone, which is also in a prepared ambush, well prepared. And again, typically a claim war or claim war type weapon is used in both cases to try and decimate. whatever is in the kill zone. So your purpose is to move out of the kill zone. Your best choice is to close with the enemy. Two policies, it depends on the unit and depends on, again, available resources. You penetrate the line and then turn left or right and move down the enemy's line of fire to disrupt it so as to assist your allies who are trying to move out of the kill zone also. The other policy, which traditionally goes way, way back, is break out, break through, exfiltrate out of the area, and then proceed to the rally point. Whatever that designated rally point is, depending upon the last rally point for a critical fire rally point that may be designated before the patrol goes too far past the FIBA, maybe a designated area for recovery. There is no helicopter pickup in this day and age. It's just a bullet magnet. Again, it's just not going to happen. Let's see, other stuff. Again, real quick on the season change, you've got lots of bright green. You've also got the greenish yellow coming in. As I pointed out, we've got russet all over the place. I'm looking right at some really beautiful red maple, short red maples that are thick this year. Everything did very well. The cherry blossoms and all the blossoms are high. We have had perfect balance of weather and water. So we'll see how the season proceeds, but I know it's going to be rich. In fact, we're already breaking out food dryers and going over all our spares and cleaning up and I'm fixing a few that went down from last year because there is no doubt we're going to be harvesting a very, very large quantity of really tasty items. And they're all going into the freeze dry, either the dryer or the freeze dryer this year, because we will have the freeze dryer. And we're going to retort pack a bunch of this stuff. It's going to be MRE type of retort, foil pouch. And again, like what I'm seeing, a bunch of other deals for fruits and stuff that are coming in on a regular basis. In fact, right now we have a surf yet we have an excess. So I need to start working with the knife tonight even after I'm done with the program slicing and Into the dryer this stuff will go because you there's no such thing as having too much food period and If I do the freeze drying and we've talked about this food is a weapon that's weapons Wednesday With the freeze drying guys you freeze dry it retort packet. You can do it number of ways You can mason jar freeze dried by the way You can jar freeze-dried pull a vacuum on the freeze-dried John the mason jar. There's a couple different tricks work really well But the idea is if you're gonna be putting cashes together Oh the best food you can be putting into those cashes would be freeze-dried Simply because you have an unlimited shelf life in a dark cool environment well protected double shelled With regard to storage. Oh, hell. Yeah, so that's the next thing that we're working on But it's already motion. We're just gonna pick you know again. Where do we want to put this because you know the issue is supposedly noise? Well, God It's rather fascinating, but we'll see how it works. Go ahead call her jump in there, please go ahead Shelly from Oklahoma. You're talking about a freeze-drive food MRE depot that the MRE depot comm they have the freeze-dried submarine rations in the number 10 cans They're all different prices. You can buy it by the can, a single individual can, or by the case of six cans. And they have like hamburger patties, they've got, you can think of it, they've got lasagna, they've got everything. And I believe these are the submarine rations that you've talked about in the past. But they do have all sorts of several pages worth of different cans of different types of food products. Okay, the can is easy to identify because it looks to be golden and what it is is basically it has a simple lacquer finish over the can. It's a normally tinned can lacquer finish so it gives it kind of a gold tint lacquer color. And it has the black nomenclature writing on the can itself, typically on the can lid, which also includes food preparation. Is there a picture of the cans? Yes, Mark, you can see it looks like in the bottom, it looks like a gold colored silver and it is the black, the white label with the black print, like the government issued stuff. I'll tell you what, be quite honest, you know, you got to remember guys, the submarine service tries to keep its people. And as you know, Shelby, I've said this a million times, guys, if you can get the submarine rations, you're getting basically the best service ration available to the military. I love lerps, lived off lerps. I don't care about, I don't need variety. As long as I got food showing up, I'm happy. But I'm going to tell you, for instance, we were buying the pork steaks and the beef steaks. They were like, 20 some 27 or 29 it's a variation because it depends on how big the steak is But we got a deal from remember a freeze-dry guy That's the one who used to carry these and he had piles of these he couldn't sell them out So he brought the price down well I used to buy these by the can I'd take them over to a to a party where the people everybody was I'd say hey I need to use your stove for a minute and it would take open up a can right there But I wouldn't let everybody see it open up the can Start up the frying pan Rehydrate them right there Do a quick cook on them all the way through and I wouldn't season them or anything. I just cook them and What I do is have the can sitting off to the side with the what was left I said, okay. Hey everyone try some of this this this is some of the steak I just you know, I just picked up and everybody been wow, this is like great Number number number and I say okay. Well, this is a freeze-dried food and they're like what? And I didn't care. I wasn't just selling to militia people. Anyway, we have a lot of other friends at prep. I said, yeah, this is actually here's what it is, guys. And this is what it looks like in the can. And again, for the price, number one, you're getting a better price if you were to buy rations any other way for the meat. But also, you're getting grade A high end, I mean, really high end product. They pay a lot of money to train submariners. They can't afford to lose them. So they don't do the slot bucket kitchen like you might get away with, or could have got away with in the past. Instead, because of the nature of how things are put together on that ship, they have the ability to produce whatever product they want in terms of for the service. And they do a good job. Go ahead, jump in there. On the side of the can, it says crescent commissary supply with the half moon emblem on it. So I'm pretty sure that's what these are. So they've got different prices all the way down to $22 a can for $24 for like diced potatoes all the way up to $120 a can for salmon fillets. And they even have steaks on them. I think they have ribeye steaks on there. They're like $100 something a can. Could you imagine hearing him? Can you imagine if you were an infantryman and somebody showed up, but what do we got tonight? Oh, we have salmon steaks. You're out in the middle of nowhere. You stink like a skunk. You haven't done anything for days. And all of a sudden, a case of food shows up. And what do you get? I mean, normally you'd expect a sharp stick in the eye, a boot in the ass, and nothing. But instead, well, the Navy got us something. What did they get us? Oh, salmon sticks. You mean the Navy eats like this? You mean we're in the Army and the Navy eats like this? Why am I in the Army? Seven steaks. I mean, granted, but it's true. I mean, it is true. Why not? I mean, after all, they have the resources the states do provide. I mean, we get, oh, well, Alaskan salmon would be likely that that would be something they could have. I mean, each state provides a certain amount of resources. Go ahead, jump in there. And that was mredepo.com. M-R-E-D-F-O-G-O-T-O-M. Go ahead, Colin. Thank you. Colin, we got you. I heard another voice. Oh, maybe just somebody listening and didn't know they were muted or unmuted. That's okay. Anything else? Shelby, jump in there, please. Go ahead. Did you want me to go ahead and do my quick review of the Waco Aftermath series? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely, because again, you're the person that said I haven't taken the time and thank God you have so go ahead, please. Okay, I didn't do the like I left that several things out like the usual. I mean, I'm just trying to write down a bunch of stuff and trying to keep it small, but there's a lot in this episode. It starts off with the lawyers talking about different letters sent from different random people threatening them or, you know, praising them for defending the Davidians. And then he's reading, as he reads another letter, as he reads the letter, it cuts to Tim McVay unloading bags of fertilizer from his mercury into a storage unit that is full of, that's about half full of fertilizer. And then the later letter praising the lawyers for, from Tim McVay, they actually mentioned his name at the very end. A little bit later, it cuts to Elohim City with the guy named Pappy giving kind of a preaching sermon talking about the government attacking them. And they need to stand up and make sure they fight, they're able to pull the trigger over and over again. As Carol Howell sits at the back and she looks out the, as the Pappy's given the sermon, she looks out the side door and sees Andrea Strasmeyer ordering a few, two, three guys around. friend next to her sees what she's looking at and says his granddad founded the Nazi party and Shrosmeyer, he's not the kind of guy you want to mess with. Then a little bit later then to the LACO trial they're talking about all the guns that they were buying. The government lawyer asking one of the Texas Rangers about a melted M16A1 and says ends up saying the lawyer says this is a weapon of war. You know, asking the ranger to identify with the weapon. After the government lawyer gets done, the Waco lawyer then asks the ranger about the evidence that they collected and you didn't happen to find any of the front doors with all the evidence. And of course he says no. The lawyer says, You were able to find a big lighter, but not to two metal doors and then asked the witness Let's see the other two witnesses that end up come up there He ended up asking about the doors if they ran across the evidence It's not really stated who the other I could believe one's ATF possible person I collected they didn't really mention who the other two people were Let's see a little bit later Gary Nasser. Sorry the back to the they cut back to the Davidians back in the 80s with George Roden digging up his mom's incident and calling Koresh and telling him that if he wants to see who could raise her from the dead, then to see who could be, to give a true profit, would be able to be in charge of Mount Carmel. And they kind of go over that incident that took place in the 80s. with that showing that the video ends sneaking in trying to get a picture of the body and stuff and getting into a gunfight with George Roden and then getting arrested or whatever for that incident and the charges of attempted murder being dropped. Let's see, then it goes back to the Waco trial with the lawyer talking to the press, you know, outside the courtroom or outside the courthouse about the doors in the ATF bulldozing the evidence. in bleaching the site for good measure. A little bit later, the lawyers are talking about the jury, then the CIA, they're at their bar, you know, after the trial and whether they're eating dinner and stuff and talking about the trial, the CIA gentleman shows up, I forgot his name, shows up and gives them a picture of the, from the church after it was still smoldering of the FBI loading one of the doors into the back of a van. Now, Mark, I'm not sure if this is the actual picture, because I don't think I've ever seen the actual picture. I know you have. It looks like it might have been an actual picture that they used in the show from the actual event, that it was a white. You could see the edge of a white box van and two guys holding a metal door that's scorched in, like they're carrying it into a van. So I'm not sure if that was the actual picture or if that was a stage to make it look like it was from the actual incident. Interestingly enough, it may be like the picture of McVey being moved. Remember they did the reenactment even though they had no reason to. However, the photograph is the photographs because I have more than one. But the the because they were taking pictures as quick as they could with a 35 millimeter conventional back then and The cube van is on the left side if you're looking at it where the front doors would be the cube van is on the left One two of the creatures are off looking for one of the bodies Specifically off to the right and the others are going after the doors the pictures are marked it was The Cuban was on the right so we've been taken from the passenger side You see the two guys carrying a door and then you see a third gentleman a little bit closer to the frame on the left hand side So it could be just a reenactment of that specific picture. I'm not sure about Well, it's interesting they did an exact opposite of what the actual image was if they did because There's no way you could change the picture. The van was so close. I mean, it's not like right next to the building, but it's so close that there's no way you could misinterpret where the vehicle was and what it was doing. You know what I mean? In other words, if you're looking at the picture that's the original shot by the lieutenant, there were other pictures shot by other Texas Public Safety officers, which we have also. and in the picture, this would be, apparently they did a reenactment. In other words, it's faction rather than fiction. It's the right idea, but they made a point of showing something different and there really wasn't, it's possible to access the image. Okay, so in other words, for whatever reason they chose to continue to create the factional variation where it's at least staying on track. However, it wasn't the CIA guy who provided that guy. It was Texas Public Safety. Those are the guys that are equivalent to your state police in any other state. and you've seen them in different news images. No, it's okay, it's good. Because it's interesting that they're trying to imply that, oh, the spooks and kooks are gonna come out and be honest. Now, it doesn't mean that spooks and kooks won't deliver stuff. But in this case, what he's trying to do is try to re-bolster confidence in the agencies. Used to be, you'd say, go to the news people, right? Good God, you wanna get the truth out, go to the news. And well that doesn't work very well for you does it nowadays so instead well, maybe there's some fat guys It would still be nice. Maybe I should talk to fed guys and look this guy got this stuff out Instead, how about you just get it out on your own? I'm just talking to the audience here. Just get it out on your own Understand that there's plenty of media technology nowadays the most important thing you do if you want to live If you have something unique I've said this a million times and I got to repeat it again you get it out to the wind You don't keep it all the call. I gotta hide it. Oh my god. I've already shared it with 25 30 50 people But oh my god, they might find out No, you better make sure you share it to the wind because then it's useless for them to do something to you Of course, they may be vindictive which the system is But there's nothing they're gonna do that people aren't gonna be scrutinizing after that Whereas if you keep it concealed then all they need do is well even just burn the whole house down so to speak and they got everything So it dispersed immediately. Go ahead, jump in there. I know you got more, please. Okay. A little bit later, they show another quick clip like I've been talking about. Like they can just go to McVay ever so often throughout the episode, like three, four times, you know, just showing what he's doing or very little of him compared to the Waco trial or back in the eighties before the Davidians were in charge of the of their property. They show Tim McVeigh walking around inside the Murrow Building and then you see him passing the daycare because there's big windows and he's looking through the windows and sees all the kids in there. Then a little bit later they show a guy approaching one of the jury members at her house, you know, asking her if she's one of the jury members and she kind of gets scared, runs in her house and then he slides a pamphlet through the mailbox and... tells her that she has rights and stuff like that, but he was kind of aggressive about it. But she looks at it and the little pamphlet that he gives her, it's a grand jury rights pamphlet. And on the pamphlet, if you pause it, it says, your jury rights, true or false? What rights do you have that the judge won't tell you? And it says, FIGA, which is Fully Informed Jury Association. And then a little bit later, the judge After that happens in the series, they show the judge telling all the lawyers on both sides that the jury has been, at least five jurors have been approached and been given, either mailed these pamphlets or given in person, these pamphlets and stuff like that. A little bit later, Mark, they, like I said, the episode was covering the doors. Magically, they wheel in one of the doors of the church. and discuss it and stuff like that. And of course the Davidian's attorney asked him, he's like, well, where's the other door? There's two doors. He's like, well, it must have burned up in the fire. This door was ripped off by one of the tanks. So it didn't burn up. And the fire was 1,300 degrees, and they're made out of aluminum. And then a little bit later, he's like, so aluminum is non-matanetic, right? And the Texas Rangers like, well, yeah. He's like so this magnet won't stick to the door. And so he goes up to the door. He's like, you're trying to stick, correct? And then he sticks it to the door and obviously proving that they're metal so they will withstand the heat. So there should be the second door. That's pretty much all I got, Mark. Something I noticed though, Mark, during the episode, the show, if they keep showing the main character, FBI guy and Gary Nasser, they keep showing him when he's either talking on the phone or having discussions with other FBI agents or whatever. They're placing him in the Murrow Building, which the FBI did not have offices in the Murrow Building. They were at 50 Penn Place, which is about three to four miles, north, west of downtown Oklahoma City. And they were at 50 Penn Place, which is right across the street from Penn Square Mall at that time. Now they have an office that's late. farther up north by crossroads while they have their own building, not sharing an office building with just random other people. But they're placing him in the Murrow Building himself, which I thought was kind of odd. I'm not saying he wouldn't visit, but like he has his own office there, like he has a cubicle there in the building, which I thought was kind of interesting, like they're placing him, which would be, as far as I know, there was no FBI killed in the Murrow Building. There was a DEA, there was no ATF in the building at that morning because they got warnings, but there was no FBI killed in the building because their offices were not in that building. Right, and as a matter of fact, remember a couple of things you mentioned that old McVay was each time looking at the kids in the daycare. Well, wait a minute, they themselves I'm just talking about his memory on this. During when they interrogated McVey and supposedly when they had some conversation with him in the... In between where they moved him and but not where they had him for final keeping an incarceration before the trial They claimed that he appeared startled or shocked when they told him about the daycare center in other words they themselves stated that he appeared to be surprised and shocked and did not know that the daycare center was in the in the Murrow building Now that's not somebody of on our side. This is something that the feds Put out there as part of their like or you know, they're con ongoing Tutorial about what they were, you know what they were getting or gleaning but that he still did it and this and that you know They went through the whole agenda. I would point out though that at the time when they did that all of this The first people that they arrested were McVay's sister and the family other family members I believe mom and dad were both alive. Maybe mom was dead But they arrested all close family members while they were when they when they initially grabbed McVey once they identified McVey While he was at the lockup where the three characters move him that we've been talking about on the air before go ahead jump in there, please Real quick Jane Graham and one of her interviews. I believe it was her. I'm sure mentioned that They did see Tim McVeigh, you know, a month or so before the bombing in the building and he was in military fatigues and he got off either on the APF floor or on another floor because he ran into him in the elevator, said morning, but he didn't say anything to him and then the elevator stopped on whatever floor it was and he got off and left and stuff, but she remembers seeing him or in the building. And I think I've heard a report from a second person. that survived or was in the building or whatever, you know, that they remember seeing him in the building either walk around or whatever. So there is a couple of reports floating out there that he was in the building a month or so before the bombing, at least in the building doing something. Right, or the argument is somebody looked very much like him and I pointed out again, I've got several, several files here. Let me jog everybody's memory. I know you know what I'm going to talk about. For the longest time, when I was speaking around the country, I had a series of photographs. Not had, I have them. I've got them in a file. I've even got blowups of all of the images, etc. They're plates for overhead projector. And I put the first picture up and everybody knows this man, right? Who is he? I don't care if he had 1,500 or 3,000 or 4,000 or 5,000 people. Half the people are here, Timmy McVay. And it's a side silhouette shot. The back of his head is to the left. The face is to the right. It is a very clean, very crisp and very clear photograph. And that's Timothy McVeigh. Yeah, it's Timothy McVeigh. I said very good. Everybody agree? How many of you agree that that's Timothy McVeigh? And a certain percentage raised their hand. Some were being furtive because they didn't know where I was going. So I take the slide off and I put the other slide up and I said, does this appear to be Timothy McVeigh? And the photograph is from the trial, Shelby, that you keep, you know, you're bringing up, that they're bringing up on this series. I think it's rather weird, the time mechanism, the way that they're playing it, because all of the history of the McVeigh, forgive me, of the Branch Davidians beforehand should have been presented first to bring you up to the history of the event. That makes more sense in the way they're chopping up the later, because it creates ad hoc confusion that's not relevant You know what I mean? In other words, you're in the after event. The Branch Davidians are now in the taillights. And while the Branch Davidians were in contact with a lot of people, they were not interactive with a lot of people. In other words, they didn't go out. They weren't meeting with these people or that people or whatever. They were their own society and they were very polite with everybody. They're also very intelligent. They were up to speed in communications for sure, very adept in communications. et cetera, et cetera. So the thing about this is that when you start hearing about the McVeigh component, if you keep throwing the mish-mish with correction, it's not relevant to, well, where did we go from here? We had the burning, you know, the burning of all the people at Waco. What happens because of that? That's an epic unto itself. The thing is, and I've pointed this out, remember when they supposedly, when McVeigh went to rent the truck, or, well, they claim he did. The thing is that you could have somebody come in. In this case, of course, you meet everybody saying, well, Mark, that guy could be McVey that was the ATF agent. In the picture in the courtroom, he's wearing the, you know, he's wearing the fed colors, so to speak. And there's no doubt what you're looking at. Now, the problem is then you start looking at other images either of McVey or somebody posing as McVey. in that there are nuances. Everybody always notices ear differences, you know, eyebrows, again, skeletal structure, slightly different. But remember, if I have somebody walk in and they do one thing and you leave and I have another person come in, or do whatever and I have you in front of me say a month afterwards or two months after if I have a still photograph I said have you seen this guy? Yeah I saw that guy he was here and he rented a rider truck and blah blah blah day. Guys I could have taken the picture of that that Fed agent with the where I boxed it in where you only see from the you know base of the neck up. and shown that to anybody and be, oh yeah, that's McVay, that's him, that's for sure, that's McVay, that's that guy, that's the guy, yep, that's the guy that was here. Here's the interesting part, the picture I might show of that guy is possibly the very full one in the picture because there are a number of people that look like, you know, in his age bracket, I mean, even if they're not, but there's a number of people that I've run into that do very much fit that body type. both in height or structure of the body, the way the person carries himself. Again, facial features, hair color, the whole nine yards. And hair color is the easiest to modify. But if the person's already in the general hair color range, you don't change a damn thing. You wonder why? People barely remember 80% of what they see if it's an intense moment. Otherwise, you can get away, as I pointed out, with camouflage, talking to somebody earlier this week. You only need about 80% to 80% correct and everybody would swear to God, fill in the blank. So that's the problem with the fact that, well, yeah, somebody wouldn't camouflage, may have been in the Murr Building. And you know what? Like I said, I've got a photograph of a Fed. that is as likely as not only such a short time after the Oklahoma City bombing, or forgive me, after the Waco burning, that they would be in the Oklahoma, you know, Murrah Building or any number of other facilities. One of the other things to remember about when people say, well, I couldn't be the same Fed because he'd be somewhere else. When the ATF was setting up the attack on the Branch Davidians, How many of those people were from the same office? You know, did they cover that in the show? They cover that in the original series. Where did all these ATF agents come from? Did they ever do that? Did they explain? No, they haven't explained any of that part. No, no five of them. Only they were they were tact selected from tactical units. all over the United States and were brought together for the purpose of creating this special attack group. So in other words, literally these bat faggots were from all points of the compass brought in to Fort Hood to train cyclically for a whole year before they attacked the Branch Davidians and then they all went their way again. I want you to see this is the small parts that need to make up the big picture because in other words all the characters that participated went back to, you know, either they went to other assigned tasks because they were floating, you know, floating feces birds or they went back to their original assigned and home operational unit like Oklahoma City, Minneapolis, St. Paul, what was the other one? They were from Arkansas. There were some from Arkansas. The whole group, over 100 men and women, were all people who were brought in to make this assault unit. This assault unit was not a traveling road show from one location. This was a circus brought in from many. So when you see these people participant both before, during, and after Waco, they're all transients. There's very few that you could say, well, that guy was from Dallas, Fort Worth office. No, most of them weren't. Most of them are not from Texas. They were from other parts of the country. That's really critical to understanding. And again, when they broke them up, that's why it was also easy to pick them off when the government started firing them or demoting or directing them to lesser tasks and running them out of the service. That's also very typical. But if they're not inter-party members, that's typically what they do. And that way it dissolves any continuity in being able to put something like what we're talking about here together. Because you know, here's an interesting one. Has anybody in the news media? I don't show me. I'm not. Thank you for the report. First of all, I appreciate this. But you know, here's something that nobody ever thinks about. Why didn't the news ever go around and try to get all these bat faggots together for a kind of a get together sob story commemorative on how they were so horribly abused by the Branch Davidians? Because after all, it's kind of hard to push that story. But I guarantee they'd make that angle. They already did where they've talked to right afterwards after Waco and during the siege they were talking to some of the bat faggots because they had them out there for the sob story. We went in to do this. We got shotified. We got poo pooed at. Oh my God. Weezer weezer whiner. But it didn't go over. So they stopped that almost as quickly as they started it. But it's interesting nobody's ever done an after like let's bring them all together Hey, what happened to Bob? All this fired Bob his wife died of cancer and he almost blew his brains out. What? You mean poor agent shmidlap they fired him Afterwards they waited a little bit and then they kicked his arse out because he was getting to be expensive Which is what they did with quite a few of them by the way So you see you can't do that propaganda lift thing And in fact, you'd have to claim that you always just couldn't find most of them. They went on to do other things. Well, you still got a name and they, you know, again, they were fed attached. We should figure out where most of them are. Not like they're not like it's hard to use a search engine to figure out, you know, who's who in the zoo, right? Anyway, show me anything else before we go, because we are at the top. Almost. That's all I had to mark. Thank you. Appreciate the report. Don't end again. Whatever you can come up on that because I don't have I have not tuned in so far. I've watched some of the Snippets from the other episode, you know from the first series, but again, it's it's faction
